“There is no case to be found either in
Europe or Asia or Africa in which the establishment of Turkish rule in any
country has not been followed by a diminution of material prosperity, and a
fall in the level of culture; nor is there any case to be found in which the withdrawal
of Turkish rule has not been followed by a growth in material prosperity and a
rise in the level of culture.
Neither among the Christians of Europe nor among
the Moslems of Syria, Arabia and Africa, has the Turk done other than destroy
wherever he has conquered.”
