The ‘neo-Ottoman’ invader
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Three weeks ago, a ship loaded with weapons was seized at the Libyan port of Khoms. It was coming from Istanbul. The story became evidence of the malicious Ottoman Turkish role in this devastated country, in connection with Libyan murderous Moslems and their presence in the entire Maghreb.

Ottoman Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu tried to cover up the incident, but The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire....
has been caught red-handed in this crime.

The preliminary results of a probe into what happened revealed that the huge arms and ammunition shipment seized at Khoms was imported by private companies that specialized in "importing food." The Libyan Customs Service announced that the officer investigating the Ottoman Turkish weapons shipment, had survived an liquidation attempt.

Brigadier General Ahmad al-Mismari, the front man of the Libyan Armed Forces, accused agents of Turkey inside Libya, of executing the liquidation.

OTTOMAN TURKISH AUDACITY, WESTERN SILENCE
A strange Ottoman Turkish audacity and even stranger Western silence followed, which made Brigadier General al-Mismari demand that the UN Security Council should promptly investigate the matter.

We are facing a blatant financing and arming of terrorist militias that kill and slaughter hundreds, or even thousands of people, not just one person, who Erdogan gave us unconvincing humane lectures about.

During a presser with the Moroccan foreign minister, his Egyptian counterpart Sameh Shoukry clearly said that Turkey, along with Qatar
...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates. Home of nutbag holy manYusuf al-Qaradawi...
, is contributing to creating a Libyan civil war and reinforcing murderous Moslems there, meaning through money, weapons and the media.

This reckless Ottoman Turkish behavior can be understood through looking at the illusion that inhabits the minds of New Turkey’s leaders; who are brandishing a form of "neo-Ottomanism." There are dangerous indicators that point to the existence of this illusion.

Among them is the major Ottoman Turkish desire to return Ottomanism to the Balkans once again, as proposed by The Guardian, in a report on Ottoman Turkish attempts to court Kosovo with investments and advocacy ‐ building an Ottoman-style mosque in the capital of Pristina.

While it had been six years without construction work beginning on Pristina’s central mosque, Turkey’s new "assertive foreign policy" aims to now build the mosque "that will closely resemble the hundreds built across the Balkans under Ottoman Turkish rule ‐ only much larger," according to the newspaper. Of course, this has struck a sour note with many Moslems in Kosovo who were against Ottoman Turkish invasion in the Ottoman era.

A widely-known Ottoman Turkish political trend seeks to revive the Ottoman State in a new version, as former Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu predicted would be achieved by 2023.

Also resonating is a sentence said by Erdogan when he visited Kosovo in 2013: "Turkey is Kosovo, and Kosovo is Turkey."

Does Erdogan’s Turkey, which is on the cusp of an economic slump, has internal security issues and faces strategic challenges in Syria, really have the luxury to dream of a huge, new Ottoman-style state?
