For
Thierry Meyssan, one of the consequences of the successive ends of
the bipolar and unipolar world is the re-establishment of colonial
projects. One after the other, the French, Turkish and English have
publicly declared the return of their colonial ambitions. We still
need to know what form they will adopt in the 21st century.

Part
2 - The Ottoman Empire
Three
months after the attempted assassination and aborted coup d’état
of July 2016, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan gave his inaugural
speech from the university which bears his name (RTEÜ).
He
delivered a list of the ambitions of the Turkish Republic since its
creation and those of his new régime. Making an explicit reference
to the «National Oath» (Misak-ı Millî), which was adopted by the
Ottoman Parliament on 12 February 1920, he justified his irredentism.
This
Oath, which was the foundation of the passage of the Ottoman Empire
to the Turkish Republic, lays claim to the territory in the
North-East of Greece (Western Thrace and the Dodecanese), all of
Cyprus, the North of Syria (including Idlib, Aleppo and Al-Hasakah),
and the North of Iraq (including Mosul).
Currently,
the Empire in re-formation already occupies the North of Cyprus (the
pseudo «Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus»), the North-West of
Syria, and a small part of Iraq. For all these areas, where the
Turkish language and currency apply, prefects («wali») have been
nominated, and their offices are situated in the White Palace of
Ankara.
