ERDOĞAN: ISLAMIC HOLY WAR BEHIND THE MIGRANT INVASION

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan recently delivered two speeches to Turkish audiences suggesting that the migrant crisis unfolding at the Greek border is an act of aggression against Europe and maybe even an attempt to re-establish the Ottoman Empire, as revealed in the following RAIR Foundation USA exclusively-translated videos, . 

The video is an excerpt from Erdoğan’s speech in Istanbul on International Women’s Day wherein Erdoğan tells Greece to open their gates too and allow the flood of migrants leaving Turkey, to travel to other European countries. 

RAIR translated and subtitled the video in English which shows Erdoğan framing the Turkish military cross-border offensive as an Islamic Holy War. He begins the speech quoting from a famous poem written by Yahya Kemal Beyatlı titled, “26 Ağustos 1922”, which was the day that the Great Offensive in the Turkish War of Independence utterly destroyed the Greeks in Anatolia and literally drove them into the sea. 

After Erdoğan opened his borders with Europe in early March in an apparent bid to get more support from NATO and the European Union to take care of “refugees” fleeing violence in Syria, he told Western audiences that this was a passive act of simply opening the flood gates to allow passage for those who wished to make the trip to Europe. 

But there is ample evidence that Turkey was playing a much more active role in creating the migrant crisis that is now unfolding at the Greek border. In an exclusive video translated by RAIR, a Bulgarian TV News station (bTV), details how the the Turkish government transported migrants to the Greek border and armed them with tear gas to fight Greece’s border agents.
