This article is so grandiose, so epic, so absolutely stunning in its untruth, that it needs to be translated as a case study of what not to say. yenisafak.com/yazarlar/yusuf… "Archaeological imperialism is erasing the traces of Islam from these lands, but we are still sleeping!"
"Archeology is the shortest way to make history without war. Distorting and rewriting history... imposing history on others..." "Whoever masters archeology will also dominate the world: He writes history; He sells the history he wrote to the world as "this is the truth"."
"Archeology is a weapon. It is the most terrifying weapon, the deadliest weapon at the same time: Your history is erased, destroyed and a fake history is invented for you! This means your second death in history."
"All four corners of Turkey, especially Istanbul, and every part of Anatolia they are trying to cut off Islamic roots, and bringing out Greek, Armenian, Christian past of these lands before us, the pagan Greek and ancient Aegean and Mediterranean civilizations..." WOW 😹
"They are mentally undermining the Muslim Anatolian continent, as if proving that they are the children of Byzantium, they have turned every corner into an archaeological excavation , they are going to discard the Islamic history and past of these lands, funded by EU funds."
"If we allow the traces of Islam to be erased from these lands, will it pave the way for them to expel us from these lands?" An incredible piece against archaeological imperialism written by no less than the Erdogan regime. Stunning piece of reverse propaganda.
