Ali throws light on Turkish interference in Libya
CAIRO – Member of the Egyptian parliament and the Director of the Center for Middle East Studies in Paris (CEMO) Abdel Rahim Ali described today Turkey's interference in Libya is an issue that threatens peace, not only in the Middle East region, but also across the world.
However,
I want to invite your attention to a number of points, he said.
He
added at a conference on Turkish interference in the Middle East region and the
threats this interference poses to regional and world peace that nobody can
separate Turkish interference in the Middle East region from the dreams of
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan to revive the geographic boundaries of
the Ottoman caliphate.
"Erdogan
is using political Islam, including the Muslim Brotherhood and the Islamic
State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) to fulfill his dream," Ali said.
He
added that nobody can differentiate between these dreams and Erdogan's desire
to create a support base for him in Europe either.
"Erdogan
encourages his supporters within European societies not to integrate into these
societies, in a desperate attempt to put pressure on European
governments," he said.
