Necmettin Erbakan awakened political spirit of Islam in Turkey

2 March 2011

We took with sadness the news of the death of Necmettin Erbakan, who throughout his political life defended, with forces and means available to him, the right of the Turkish people to Islam, to defense of the honor of Muslims, to dignity of ordinary people.

Erbakan entered his political life in Turkey as the first politician in modern history of this country, who has publicly declared commitment to Islamic values.

Erbakan's attempt to restore the rule of Islam in the current political system, although doomed, aroused political spirit of Islam in Turkey.

Erbakan revived the practice of Islamic solidarity, including the Caucasus. He sought to establish an independent international Islamic political alliance, which could serve for expression and defense of the interests of Muslim nations.

The political life Necmettin Erbakan became a lesson and experience for Muslims and helped to understand the current state of the Ummah, to select the only true way to restore the greatness of Islam.

We bring our sincere condolences to the family and friends of Necmettin Erbakan and ask Allah to show mercy to His servant.
