Turkey: Foreign Minister says Turkey will "remove the colonialists from this region"

Turkey, which had colonized the Middle East for 400 years, now vows to fight the 'colonizers', that is, the Jews who live in their homeland.

Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu has pledged to “work night and day to remove the colonialists” from the Middle East. 

“The main opposition party leader [Kemal Kiliçdaroglu] and some others call [the Middle East] a quagmire. But we will not let anyone call the Middle East a quagmire, as this place also includes the cave of Hira, which enlightens humanity. We will work night and day to remove the colonialists from this region. We will raise the light of civilizations in the Middle East,” Davutoglu said, speaking at a pre-dawn Ramadan meal organized by the ruling Justice and Development Party’s (AKP) youth branches in Istanbul’s Topkapi neighborhood.
