Prof. Dr. Nevzat Tarhan said, \u201cAs you know, Allah Almighty speaks to people constantly\u2026 Allah talks in the language of the event. We already know that this pandemic is not accidental. If we can understand these events correctly, we will learn the right lessons, correct our mistakes, and continue on our way. The pandemic have formed a sense of fear in people. There is no physical and psychological comfort, people’s freedom is restricted. Now everyone cannot hug their children, cannot touch his hand, his mouth, his face. There is no fast way of living like before. Modern people who are in pursuit of pleasure have lost all of this. On the one hand, the Islamic world is now sad about the Kaaba. Al-Masjid an-Nabawi, Al-Aqsa Mosque and S\u00fcleymaniye Mosque are sad. People are not able to visit there. Hagia Sophia was opened, it is a great service, but it is the same. We cannot go there as we wish. People got lonely”<\/span><\/p>\n …<\/span><\/p>\n Prof. Dr. Mehmet Zelka: “Islamic countries should establish a union”<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Stating that the total cost of wars, conflicts, terrorist incidents and acts of violence to the global economy was calculated as 14.1 trillion dollars in 2018, Prof. Dr. Mehmet Zelka drew attention to the fact that defense expenditures in Middle Eastern countries alone have been close to 12 trillion dollars in the last 20 years. Stating that Islamic countries should form a union, Prof. Dr. Mehmet Zelka said, “Islamic countries form a union and go into a joint defense and security structure within this union, the formation of the Ministry of Defense, the establishment of defense presidencies in the countries, the establishment of the necessary institutional structure within this structure from a center to be determined, By holding regular and periodic meetings, it is only possible to reduce tension, disagreements and foreign interventions by determining and implementing common defense and security policies, and thereby increasing security and establishing an atmosphere of peace\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n …<\/span><\/p>\n Adnan Tanr\u0131verdi: “It is aimed to present a model with ASSAM Congresses”<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n ASSAM President of Board of Directors Adnan Tanr\u0131verdi shared information about the congress, which was held for the fourth time this year, in his opening speech. Touching on three congresses held in the past years, Tanr\u0131verdi stated that the congress is a community initiative and said, \u201cOur aim is to present a model for decision-makers. The purpose of this congress is to determine the procedures and principles of the common defense system to be established in the 9 federal regions affiliated to the Confederation and the national states affiliated to these federal regions with the common defense system to be carried out in the Confederation Center. Islamic countries, 61 of the 193 states that are members of the United Nations organization are Muslim countries. 1.85 billion of the 7 billion 632 million world population consists of the people of the Muslim state countries. 30.9 million square kilometers of the land of the world, which is the total 150 million square kilometers, are the lands of Islamic countries. ASSAM tries to put forward a term opposite to Eurasia by saying “Asrica continents” representing Asia and Africa, the backbone of the Islamic geography. In other words, we are trying to determine Asia and Africa unity\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n Adnan Tanr\u0131verdi: “ASRICA is a candidate to be the superpower of the future”<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Drawing attention to the richness of the resources of the Islamic geography, Adnan Tanr\u0131verdi said, \u201cThe Islamic geography has 55.5 percent of the world’s oil reserves, 65 percent of its production, 64.1 percent of natural gas reserves, 40 percent of its production, it has a potential power, which is candidate to be the superpower of the future in the Eurasian geography, by combining its opportunities, efforts and goals with its geopolitical position is the historical accumulation of common civilization values.\u00a0 However, the Islamic world is the most intervened countries in this land and the countries that occupy the agenda of United Nations the most. These are the countries where terrorism and anarchy are not lacking in their territory, whose resources are managed by foreign powers, where human rights and freedoms are violated, where income distribution is corrupt, where political, social and economic instability prevails, and who demand and need the help and support of external power centers to solve their internal problems\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n Adnan Tanr\u0131verdi stated that the purpose of the congresses, which was held in a series, was to ensure that the institutions required for the gathering of Islamic countries under a will and to reveal the legislation that these institutions should have as a model.
