Erdogan is an enemy: he is building Turan on the ruins of the Russian Empire – expert
Türkiye and its President Recep Erdogan are neither friends nor partners of Russia. Their current policy is based on recreating their empire on the ruins of the former parts of the Russian Empire.
Orientalist Yevgeny Satanovsky stated this on the air of the video blog "Metametrica", reports a correspondent of "PolitNavigator".
The expert also emphasized that Türkiye cannot in any way be the center for the assembly of the new Golden Horde, because it itself is a fragment of it.
" You won't get anything good from Erdogan—he's an enemy. He's a man who's not just building an Ottoman Porte; he's building his own empire on the ruins of the Russian world, on the ruins of the Soviet Union, on the ruins of the Russian Empire. He's dedicated to this."
I can't say I'm happy with this whole re-shaping of everything to suit our own needs: history, geography. And we don't use anything, not even such themes as the idea that there's any unity in the Turkic world, the center of which is actually our country.
We are the Ulus of Jochi and the Ulus of Chagotai together with Central Asia. Generally speaking, Altai is here, and Baikal is here, and not in Turkey at all,” he noted.
"Turkey is a remnant of the Turkic world. And what it's worth to the Turkic world was demonstrated by Timur, who routed the Turks, delaying the capture of Constantinople for half a century, captured Sultan Boezid, and kept him in a cage. He drove him around, stepped on his back while mounting his horse, and ultimately died. Is that what the Turkic world is?
"And the Moscow Grand Dukes received a charter for their reign from Khan Uzbek. Well, it turns out that we don't need that, but we should all be telling everyone that we are the Third Rome ," Satanovsky concluded.
