A pro-government Turkish newspaper has called on the country to obtain nuclear weapons and hinted it should stop fighting ISIS.
In is column on March 27, the editor of Tayyip Erdogan-supporting daily Yeni Safak, which translates to New Dawn, wrote that Turkey should withdraw from attacking the enemies of the West, thought to mean Islamic State.
The article, penned by Ibrahim Karagul, criticizes the western world and reserves special mentions for Germany.
It comes as Turkey prepares for a referendum on April 16, which the newspaper is calling to be used as a platform for Turkey to 'fight for its existence'.
Yeni Safak editor Mr Karagul said: 'The Western world is old now and has entered a period of stagnation.
'It is not as strong and determinant as it was after the two world wars.
'The future of the world can be shaped through the differentiation of the East and West.
'It is necessary to look at the entirety of this picture while discussing Turkey's fight and the new Western attacks aimed at Turkey.
'If not, determining a position for Turkey based solely on positions within the country is the indication of terrible blindness.'
