In the dispute over the Mohammed cartoons, the Turkish President accuses France and other EU countries of being hostile to Islam. But its unusually excessive tone could have deeper causes. The federal government now certifies Erdogan’s growing closeness to Islamists. The German government has confirmed close ties between Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his ruling party, the AKP, to Islamists. In an answer to a question by the left-wing foreign politician Sevim Dagdelen, reference is made to increasingly open contacts with the Milli-Görus Movement (IGMG), which is repeatedly observed by the Office for the Protection of the Constitution. The request was submitted to the AFP news agency.

New angry speech in Ankara Erdogan sees fascists and Nazis everywhere

Erdogan had “his ideological and political roots” in the Milli Görus movement, the government reply said. After the founding of the AKP, he was initially regarded as a traitor by the latter. For a long time there were only individual contacts. But these intensified, especially after the failed coup attempt in Turkey in 2016. The federal government also refers to connections between functionaries of the IGMG and the Muslim Brotherhood to the Turkish religious authority Diyanet and to the association Ditib, the umbrella organization of most of the Turkish-influenced mosque associations in Germany. This can be seen in the organization of joint events. “The Turkish state continues to strive to exert influence on communities of Turkish origin in Germany and to selectively influence the political will-making and decision-making process in German society as a whole,” the government reply said.

“It is to be welcomed that the German government is seeing Erdogan’s ideological and political roots in the anti-democratic Muslim Brotherhood for the first time and naming it in a highly official manner,” said Dagdelen. “The Islamist-nationalist Erdogan network is a threat to public security in Germany and must be dismantled instead of state funding,” she demanded, referring to the funding of Ditib mosques in some federal states. In view of the current political tensions between Turkey and several EU states, especially France, Greece and Cyprus, Dagdelen accused Chancellor Angela Merkel of refusing to adopt a common European stance “on Turkey’s neo-Ottoman foreign policy” and thus creating a split to promote the EU. This is also “a slap in the face” from democrats in Turkey. Dagdelen also referred to an aggressive Turkish foreign policy in the conflicts in Libya and between Armenia and Azerbaijan.

Call for boycott Erdogan: Do not buy French goods

In the dispute over the Islamic statements by France’s head of state Emmanuel Macron, the Turkish president had called for a boycott of French goods in Ankara. With a view to the alleged Islamophobia in Europe, Erdogan took off again and drew a comparison to National Socialism. Muslims in Europe were exposed to a “lynching campaign” that was comparable to the persecution of “Jews before World War II,” said Erdogan. He accused European heads of state and government of being “fascists in the true sense of the word” and “chain rings of National Socialism”. Meanwhile, the President of the Muslim umbrella organization CFCM in France, Mohammed Moussaoui, stressed that Muslims are “not persecuted”. France is “a great country”. Faced with the boycott of French products, he urged people to defend the country’s interests. Erdogan’s statements also met with indignation from the federal government. “These are defamatory statements that are completely unacceptable,” said government spokesman Steffen Seibert in Berlin.
