After the Kurds, Americans, and British nationalists (as some call them within our country), now the Armenians are demanding the renaming of the city of cities from the unappealing Istanbul (which is a Greek word) to the proper Constantinople.
The Armenian diaspora urges the new Trump administration to target not only the renaming of the city that stands between East and West, but also demands the restoration of Christian churches, compensation payments, and respect for minorities based on faith.
Essentially, they are demanding the return of Hagia Sophia to a museum from its current status as a mosque, as well as the restoration of other grand Orthodox churches in Turkey, the reopening of the Halki Theological School, and respect for Christians (Greeks and Armenians).
However, these are minor details for the regime in Ankara, which is planning its neo-Ottoman designs for dominance over three seas and two continents (this reminds us of something).
What a Turkish exiled journalist reveals about Recep Tayyip Erdoğan
The well-known Turkish journalist A. Bozkurt warns of a new major threat being planned in Istanbul by Sultan Erdoğan, which concerns the entire region.
He mentions that "amid the ambitions of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan to become the great caliph for Muslims around the world, an Islamist network based in Istanbul with international reach promotes the political agenda of his government, exporting radical Islamist ideology, sometimes supporting violence and armed jihad in the name of the Islamic religion."
The network, operating under the name International Organization for the Support of the Prophet of Islam (Uluslararası Peygamber Efendimizi Koruma ve Destekleme Heyeti, IOSPI), is essentially a group connected to the Muslim Brotherhood, aiming to leverage Muslim protests ignited by smear campaigns against the Prophet Muhammad.
In reality, the network seeks to recruit new followers for President Erdoğan's proxies, expand the reach of his government, strengthen Turkey's global influence campaigns, and raise funds by exploiting the sensitivities of Muslim communities for political purposes.
The organization does not seem to be officially registered according to Turkish law, as there is no related record in the Ministry of the Interior, which oversees the establishment of all associations in Turkey and conducts investigations when necessary.
Photos from a recent meeting at the headquarters of the Sosyal Doku (Social Fabric) Foundation — known for promoting violent Jihad — reveal the direction of IOSPI and its efforts to build ties with Turkish jihadist groups to advance its agenda while expanding its influence abroad.
The meeting, which took place on February 4, 2025, was hosted by Nurettin Yıldız, an antisemitic Turkish cleric who advocates armed Jihad, inspiring the assassin of the Russian ambassador to Turkey in 2016.
Yıldız has been shielded from legal consequences by the Erdoğan government, despite his role in the radicalization of Turkish police officer Mevlüt Mert Altıntaş, who murdered Russian Ambassador Andrei Karlov in Ankara.
Turkish prosecutors never interrogated Yıldız, even though the assassin frequently attended his private sermons.
Yıldız also delivered fiery speeches for Erdoğan's family foundation focused on youth, the Turkish Youth Foundation (TUGVA).
The organization is highly politicized, supports President Erdoğan, backs him during elections, and works to undermine Arab governments opposing the Muslim Brotherhood. It receives financial, logistical, and political support from the Turkish government.
It is essentially a proxy arm of Erdoğan's regime, which will extend its influence, threatening all countries in the region, including Greece, Egypt, Israel, and others.
The threat is enormous, depending on the influence this Turkish organization has over the thousands of Muslims in the region, threatening with Jihad according to the Turkish exiled journalist.
