The Ottoman Empire maintained peace through a multi-ethnic, multi-religious governance system where different communities (Christians, Jews, Muslims) could have their own local courts and governance while obeying central authority, rather than forced assimilation; this model allowed diverse populations to coexist with shared cultural elements like music and food, creating a unique form of unity that modern nation-states struggle to replicate.

Added:Thank you Mr. President. Thank you guys.
So I'll keep it very short because I know everybody is very cold now and we will have a few points because I believe also there are some confusions. So that I think that's better. So today debate is also a very tricky one because we are seeing people on the side of Ottoman Empire and not on the side of Ottoman Empire. the debate is a little different and also I want to go over a few comments because we were like one of the guest speaker and the first speaker were talking about the Armenian tragedies and pay attention that in 1948 when the genocide term was introduced it's a legal term legal terms do not apply backwards and please read as a historian and educate yourself on the book of the first Armenian prime minister Johannes Kachasnuni wrote a book called Tashnak party has nothing to do anymore and this book explains what has happened between the Armenian and Ottoman conflict and read the book and come back and we will talk and about the Hungarian case that if you nope sorry we have limited time my friend but up to drinks come and talk to please about the Hungarian case at the great Hun and your leader Kopan before Ishtwan in the 11th century they would be very disappointed by your commence because when Ottomans arrived, there were also a lot of Hungarians that they wanted to practice shamanism and the Hungarian nomadic practices and they were welcomed in Ottoman Empire because Ottomans and Hoons shared 2,000 years old common history and they can even understand many sentences together. So that not only that Hungarians were suppressed or not but Hungarians also welcomed the Ottomans and the Christianity was a suppression in in Hungarian society in 11th century. So that uh Ishtwan brought to you guys and more than that in the Greek side. I would like to highlight that you guys think about an Ottoman suppression in uh towards the Greek society but do not forget the Turkish suppression as well in the Ottoman Empire. any nationalism, any form of nationalism was suppressed in Ottoman Empire and we had two Greek uh gentlemen dressed up in Ottoman clothes actually and that was one of the proof of influence because they had red heads if you pay paid attention and that was a turman clothes but they thought it's a Greek costume that was a pure Ottoman uh kazilvash clothes actually and the same man of Ankara um I mean they were they were having the kazbash clothes as the Greek one they were thinking that and they were prot at all and this is not that we are thinking of the oh uh republic or the Turkish government tries to recover the empire do not be afraid there is no empire coming empire is the past but what we are talking is slightly different that we I will go into my talk now which is going to be short my Mr. president and I I will talk about the assimilation that the packs Ottomana and if today's Turkey becoming anything. So the near the end of Ottoman Empire we all know that Middle East was super rich with the oil and resources and pay attention why Ottoman Empire was targeted because we are all on the same page about this. Did you think that Lorren of Arabia loved the Arabs or they just served the globalist movement? Why do we think of the Arabic movement that it is going over the like why we are not looking into Arabic nationalism when it is going beyond the ummah beyond Ottomanism the identity so that the nationalism had the critical value that we all agree on because I want to talk about what we agree upon and I see that a lot of arguments going on the same page but we think that we are arguing with each other and did you know the population of Brazil anyone can say some hundreds of millions maybe. And what language do they speak? We have been assigning Vali the governor to Serbia for 300 years yet they speak Serbian. My Greek friends they speak Greek but as we repeated from my uh side proposition side that 50 years of French rule and the Libya Morocco they are becoming Francoan. Pay attention to that because assimilation was never the Ottoman policy. It was only about peace that you have the local governance. Local governance means that if you're Christian, if you're Jewish, if you're Muslim, whatever ethnicity, you could have your own governance, local courts established, but you cannot go against the palace. You had to obey the absolute rule that the you don't take you don't try to take down the government, but internally you can enjoy your own freedom and that was the legal constitution, legal juristical system.
But here we are not to say in Turkey we want to have multi-ethnicity, multi-religion or multicultural shift.
We are not trying to convert or we are pretty much against that converting Turkey to any of uh partially Arabic, partially Kurdish, partially Turkish state. We were forced to build this nation state today in Turkey and that is the fact it is an inevitable status as we also said the similar things.
I will uh slowly conclude about also some comments on the Khalifa like why we didn't keep the Ottoman Sultan stepped into the British boat like warship if you guys know and also pay attention to Pax Ottomana that is that was similar to Pax Romana which ended as well with Marcus Aurelus here we are not only talking about Pakotana the peaceful region we are also talking about the Roman Empire and if you pay attention to Fatis Sultame commence he was also calling the empire as the Trojan alliance Trojan kingdom because they have built a unification of the uh same territory. So if we talk about this territory, we know how to rule the region because it is multi-ethnicity, multi-religious, but these people go with the same music, same food. If you pay attention without a language, the Greek people to Spanish people to uh Turkish people when they hear the same rhythm, this region has the uh togetherness embedded into our genetics maybe. So we know how to uh be together but the re recent stuff with the nationalism was which was just a globalist game and we all know it and the peace essentially with the pax of we know it and when the Spanish was massacring safari Jews what happened they came to Ottoman Empire Kudus Jerusalem it was always where Christians Muslims Palestinians Turks Jews everybody body living together and today we are discussing about the two-state solution as a maybe we know the solution guys we know we know how to establish peace we all speak the same language and here I urge you again once more time walk out from the eyes vote for proposition and say yes to uh that we are sad losing the peace period of Ottoman Empire thank you >> [applause]
