He referred to this while saying that Saudis are anti-Ottoman and use this as a tool of regional rivalry with Turkey. He said that the Saudis falsely attributed the Ottoman portico in Makkah’s Grand Mosque to Caliph Uthman Ibn Affan and, by doing so, are avoiding problems. What is ironic is that he who discusses historical falsehoods is accused of these same inappropriate expressions. However, it seems that he raised this issue just to refer to the term “online flies,” which is not appropriate for a scientist or an academic to use or resort to. The historical issues raised by Qurshon started with the “Ottoman portico.” The truth is that he did not think this through, as even those who barely know any history know that raising this historically settled issue is a losing bet and cannot be seen through the Turkish historical lens, given the historical sources, evidence and proof. Arabs are not different from the Armenians in regard to the Turks due to the massacres committed against them during the Ottoman era and, today, the current government is continuing such actions in more than one Arab nation. It will pass down a new cause that goes down in Turkish history, just like the Armenian cause. The current Turkish government will only pass down more misery to the region and inside its own borders, along with the economic crisis and internal problems it has been suffering from. We will not resort to political projections such as the ones used by Qurshon to offend Saudi Arabia or try to undermine the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 because, according to the Chinese proverb, “a tree is known by its fruits.” The whole world has acknowledged that Saudi Arabia is racing against time in terms of development, progress and achieving results through its vision, while the Turkish fruit inherited nothing but interference in the affairs of others and the adoption of a combative stance in more than one place in the Arab world in an attempt to revive the old imperial dream, which is seen as a wave that comes crashing down on reality. (Library of Congress)Īfter discussing, in my previous article, the Turkish psychological crisis throughout history and how what Turkish scholar Zakaria Qurshon wrote in his series of articles proves this crisis, we will now look into the most important historical events mentioned by Qurshon. Mounted Bedouin who took part in the Arab Revolt against the Ottoman Empire in the Middle Eastern theatre of World War I.
