Turkey’s Support for Islamists
(hib) – Turkey is increasingly supporting Islamist movements and governments in the Middle East and Africa. This was stated by the German government in response to a parliamentary question from the Left Party.
According to the government, Turkey has provided financial, military and diplomatic support to the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt and the Hamas government in the Gaza Strip. Turkey has also been accused of supporting Islamist militias in Syria and Libya.
The government’s response does not mention any specific examples of Turkish support for Islamist groups. However, there are numerous reports of such support in the media.
For example, in 2013, Turkey was accused of providing weapons and training to the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt. Turkey was also accused of providing financial support to Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
In 2014, Turkey was accused of supporting Islamist militias in Syria. Turkey has been accused of providing weapons and training to the Free Syrian Army, which includes some Islamist groups. Turkey has also been accused of providing financial support to the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS).
In 2015, Turkey was accused of supporting Islamist militias in Libya. Turkey has been accused of providing weapons and training to the Libyan Dawn, which includes some Islamist groups. Turkey has also been accused of providing financial support to the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS).
The government’s response to the parliamentary question does not provide any information on the reasons for Turkey’s support for Islamist groups. However, there are a number of possible explanations for this support.
One possible explanation is that Turkey is seeking to increase its influence in the Middle East and Africa. By supporting Islamist groups, Turkey can gain access to new markets and resources.
Another possible explanation is that Turkey is seeking to promote its own brand of Islam. Turkey has a long history of supporting moderate Islam, and it may be seeking to use Islamist groups to promote its own version of Islam.
Finally, it is possible that Turkey is simply seeking to protect its own interests. Turkey has a large Muslim population, and it may be seeking to support Islamist groups as a way to protect its own Muslim citizens.
Whatever the reasons for Turkey’s support for Islamist groups, it is clear that this support is having a significant impact on the political landscape of the Middle East and Africa.
