The Syria incident showed that the real aim of Turkey in the region is to restore the Ottoman Empire, says an article by Iran’s semi-official Fars news agency.

Slamming the dual and false policy of Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan towards Muslim nations of the region, the Iranian news agency says, “After the incident between Erdogan and Israeli President Shimon Peres in Davos, nations fighting for their rights in the region were enthusiastic about such a step taken by Turkish Prime Minister, however, as the time showed, this step was not in the interests of Islam, but was a tactical move aimed at raising his authority in the region.”

“Ankara’s passivity in connection with the deaths of nine Turkish citizens in the Israeli naval attack on the Turkish flotilla revealed secret relationship between Turkey and Israel. Anticipating things, we can notice that in the initial period of Syria destabilization Turkish government with the consent of Israel sent its servicemen for training for sabotage operations to Tel Aviv.

So the real face of Erdogan and his government gets unmasked more and more every day. The Syria incident shows that the real aim of Turkey in the region is to restore the Ottoman Empire,” says the author.

Summing up the criticism of Turkish authorities, the Iranian news agency says, “If Turkey has proclaimed itself the defender and supporter of the fighting nations in the region, then why doesn’t it stop its relationship with Israel, why doesn’t it cancel the security agreements with this country? The scream of Gaza children is a serious ordeal for Erdogan and the Arab world, Erdogan’s allies. The future will show if their statements proclaiming that they are patrons of fighting nations are real.”
