Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar's Live Conversation on A9TV dated February 17rd, 2018

VTR: Why was Mawlana against the Turks?

ADNAN OKTAR: Throughout history, some people have always suffered from a peculiar complex. Such people feel ashamed to be a Turk for some reason. They see being European etc. as a big deal. Being a Turk is an honor. The Turks have built and preserved a remarkable civilization for 5000 years. Turks are an honest, dignified, compassionate and ingenious nation of state-builders who have never submitted to servitude. They are a noble people. So, the anti-Turkish sentiment has been brought about by satan's influence. Seeing that the Turks are the strongest tribe standing in the way of his own system, satan directs his attack at the Turks. This is the only reason. This seems to be the root cause.
