Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan: The West's Progress Is Built on Blood, Tears, and Genocide; Western Civilization Will Collapse, Our Divine and Humane Civilization Will Flourish

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said in a November 26, 2024 speech he delivered in Ankara at the Seventh Religious Council, which was organized by Turkey's Religious Affairs Ministry, that the West’s progress is built on “blood, tears, massacres, genocide, and exploitation,” that it is to the exclusion of the East’s “civilization of divine and humane love,” and that the day will come when Western civilization “collapses with a great clamor” and Eastern civilization will flourish and rise up. He also said: “Those who manage and spread the digital tecno-culture are earning serious money, while they simultaneously inject their own ideas, beliefs, and lifestyles into new generations.”
