An Erdogan speech last week, at MEMRI TV:
"Turkey is much bigger than Turkey. […]
"As a nation, we cannot limit our horizon to 782,000 square kilometers. Just as a person cannot be saved from his destiny by fleeing it, Turkey as a nation cannot escape or hide from its destiny. We must see, accept, and act according to the mission that history has given us as a nation. […]
"Those who ask, 'What is Turkey doing in Libya, Syria, and Somalia?' may not be able to conceive this mission and vision."
The resurrection of the Ottoman caliphate, perhaps?
