Normalisation with Russia and ''Israel'' means betraying Palestine and Syria

Turkey’s President Erdoğan gave statements on the topics of normalising with Russia and ''Israel'' before his trip to Africa. Erdoğan said to Russia's leader Putin who said ''We want to repair our relations but the first step has to come from Turkey'': ''We have to redevelop our relations with Russia, we have to try to improve our relations with them to a vastly different position''. Erdoğan stated on the topic of relations with ''Israel'' by reminding of Turkey's apology, compensation and embargo terms, saying, ''That he presented serious offers to solve Palestine's energy problem'' and that ''The developments with 'Israel' seems to be positive.''

We know both of the Palestinian problem and the Syrian problem the demeanour that Turkey's leaders take. They don't take upon themselves the responsibility to save the Muslims that are massacred in Palestine and are running away from the responsibility by leaving it to international organizations. They expect that America and the other colonialist nations will solve Muslims problems. They run from this great responsibility in this world but, in the other world, in the Day of Judgement they won’t be able to run from the consequences of it!

That's why we remind them once more that normalising relations with ''Israel'' and Russia will reinforce the invasions in Palestine and Syria. Because these two invader states are clearly, Islam's enemies. Shortly after President of Russia Putin stated: ''We want to repair the relations with Turkey'' he said, ''We are ready for a coalition with Turkey to fight terrorists''. We know very well that Russia sees all Muslims that resist invasion as terrorists from its actions carried out in Chechnya and Syria. That's why Turkey’s normalisation with Russia means first of all the betrayal to the Syrian people and all martyrs.

Again normalisation with the Jewish existence ‘‘Israel’’ can’t be legitimised by building a couple of schools and hospitals in Gaza. Normalisation with ''Israel is betraying the Palestinian people and Mavi Marmara martyrs. In return to the apology, compensation and to what we even don't know what it contains ''lifting the embargo''. Treating with the invader terrorist state will never gain legitimacy among Muslims. Muslims will never accept normalisation with ''Israel'' and Russia while Masjid al-Aqsa and Palestine is occupied and while Syrian children are showered with bombs every day. Muslims don't want to normalise with murderers. Muslims want to be saved from this tyranny and give these states the treatment they deserve according to Islamic law. And this will only happen in the hands of the Khilafah "Caliphate" Rashidah's upon the method of the Prophethood strong armies.
