"Those who think that we have erased from our hearts the lands from which we withdrew in tears a hundred years ago are wrong.

"We say at every opportunity we have that Syria, Iraq and other places in the geography [map] in our hearts are no different from our own homeland. We are struggling so that a foreign flag will not be waved anywhere where adhan [Islamic call to prayer in mosques] is recited.

"The things we have done so far [pale in comparison to the] even greater attempts and attacks [we are planning for] the coming days, inshallah [Allah willing]."

Erdogan dreams of a new Sultanate.

Too much time has gone from the era of the Kemal Atatürk and hence the reason why the Kemalists were secular and opposed Islamists is forgotten. Now everything about the Ottoman Empire seems so nice to people like Erdogan.
