Where to Start?

Justice Defenders Strategic Studies Center (ASSAM) recently carried out an important activity towards establishing the Islamic Union. The fact that many guests from many Islamic countries attended the 1st International ASSAM Islamic Union Congress and their expectations for effective cooperation were also reflected in the final declaration of congress.

It is now a necessity to establish the ground and organizations for short, medium and long-term cooperation areas among Islamic Countries. In order for potentials to be mobilized for this purpose, there is a need for urgent mapping of existing capacities and capabilities of countries. It will also form a model for the commissioning of existing infrastructures first and then for collaborations to be made in different fields. In this context, making the Islamic countries to benefit from the current capacity of Turkey's defense industry is one of the areas of cooperation that can be established in the fastest way.

The status of the defense industries of the countries is an indicator of their independence. The political and economic independence of the country, whose defense industry is not independent, cannot be mentioned.
