Erdogan: Fall of Constantinople in 1453 - the beginning of the Turkish Age of Enlightenment

Planned new bridge from Asia to Europe via the Bosporus

Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan announced last Wednesday at the inauguration of the project, a new 10-lane bridge over the Bosphorus insight into his understanding of history and the role of Turkey in Europe.

The Catholic News Agency reported kath.net as only about the event: "With the conquest of Constantinople Opel and the victory over the Byzantine Empire in the 15th century, the Muslim Ottomans had an 'age of enlightenment' initiated, said Turkish Prime Minister."
The reign of the Byzantines in Turkey today, he described the other hand, as a "dark chapter". Significantly, the celebration of the foundation stone of the bridge project took place on the anniversary of the conquest of Byzantium held (29 May 1453).

Kat.net continues: "'Today we make history', Erdogan said, alluding to the construction of the bridge, the third connection between Asia and Europe in Istanbul. The Istanbul authorities mark the anniversary of the victory over the Byzantines with traditional ceremonies and receptions. "

In fact, the conquest of Constantinople hatt an age of "enlightenment" initiated, however, ushered in the Renaissance not necessarily in the former Eastern Roman Empire, but in Italy, where Greek scholars fled with her books and writings of classical antiquity and with their knowledge and education.

Byzantium had been for centuries a bulwark against Asian hordes, which was decisively weakened, tragically, by the Christians themselves: A particularly pernicious role was played by the army of Christian crusaders (mainly French and Venetian knights), which occurred in the Christian Constantine Opel in 1204, plundered and destroyed large parts of the city. It must have been a truly Christian pile ... letters of the Pope, the strictly opposed and threatened with excommunication, had been intercepted.

The destruction, atrocities and subsequent divisions of Byzantium by the so-called. "Fourth Crusade" broke the Greek Christendom neck and resulted ultimately in the case of the 1453rd

Pope Nicholas V. achieved during the siege by the Turks desperate cries for help from Constantinople Opel. Instead of sending troops to the Roman pontiff, however, bogged in negotiations because he schagen advantage of the plight of the Byzantines and tried to force them into a Church Union. He sealed the fate of the city ...

The Ottoman conquest of desire surged in the following centuries in waves towards the west. Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his traditional Islamic party clearly have this tradition.

One Response to "Erdogan: Fall of Constantinople in 1453 - the beginning of the Turkish Age of Enlightenment"

  1. Rudolf Steinmetz says:

    Erdogan is not in the tradition of the Ottomans nor does he have a solid understanding of history. During the Ottoman Empire the religious minorities had their own autonomy, and also the Jews expelled from Spain found refuge there, Atatürk replaced this multi-ethnic tolerance by a racist Pan-Turkism. Dervish orders were forbidden (by the way also more recently in Iran). According marked is also the state-controlled, Turkish Islam. In this limited tradition Erdogan. He is also a materialistic Atatürk, who runs criminal activity, see:

    Who want to know more precisely what it was at the Marmara massacre, should continue. Here is the abstract:

    Last year nsnbc reported that a reliable Palestinian intelligence source (which is known to the editor of nsnbc) information and documentation available presented, which show that the murder of nine Turkish citizens on the Mavi Marmara of the Gaza Freedom Flotilla a joint Turkish -israelische operation was that served the purpose of liquidating nine members of the Turkish Muslim Brotherhood and related organizations who opposed the military aggression against Syria. Another purpose of the joint murder to boost public support for the Turkish Prime Minister R. Tayyip Erdogan and to give him enough backing for the dismissal of the secular generals in the Turkish High Command, who were opposed to military intervention in Syria: http: / /www.politaia.org/israel/heute-already-laughed-igh-determined-for-mavi-marmara/

    Erdogan is for many reasons as credible as the new Pope: Would the symbiotic interdependence between the state and mafia structures an Olympic discipline, Turkey would get at least silver, it however may "Hürriyet" "Cumhuriyet" do not report, otherwise sit all editors for that! rest of their lives in jail. And currently the largest state cheaters is Attatürk imitator Erdogan, who lies as printed and is involved in money laundering, here are some examples:

    And how Erdogan buys his people? Some with small, public appeal favors, for example, by in large cities such as Istanbul and prohibits paid the entire funeral expenses with tax money the Bakschische. In turn, mounted on each Dönerbude a video camera to spy on his Turks. And by granting the rich clans unhindered market access, and can in turn loyal employees falling crumbs, but this control in return, spy on and keep to the curb.

    The point of all this evil (including the Young Turks under Ataturk) were the proselytes of Thessaloniki, the gateway to the ideas of the French Revolution by the Zionist Masonic sect B'nai B'rith, the abdication of Sultan Abdul Hamid II. Resulted which is in unison presented in the press as a bloodthirsty despot, but in reality, the Ottoman Empire was able to free from the clutches of the West again until, with the Anglo-Saxon banks of the "City of London" to sponsor yes to just the Masons came to the proselytes.

    And the latest to Phantom Ergenekon and Fethullah Gülen and his "movement" and their manual and team services for the CIA to read here: Sibel Edmonds: Operation Gladio B - Part 1: http://www.politaia.org/terror / sibel-edmonds-operation-gladio-b-part-1 /

    Nota bene: To bet that neither http://www.islamische-zeitung.de still http://de.qantara.de still http://zentralrat.de or else any report a so-called Islamic portal on these correlations? I wonder why not?
