Abdul Şahin was an Turkish politician and President of Turkey, serving from 2044 to 2054. A decorated veteran of War against ISIS, Şahin became a major leader of the Islamist movement within the country and a sharp critic of the secular government. He gained support by promoting Turkish Islamic nationalism, and Pan-Turkism with charismatic oratory and propaganda. He was elected to the Turkish Parliament in 2039 and rose to lead the Party for a United Turkey (PUT) to a legislative majority in the 2044 elections, leading to his own election to the Presidency.
Şahin ultimately wanted to establish a New Ottoman Empire with a base of power stretching from north Africa into the Eurasian Steppe. To achieve this, he pursued a foreign policy with the declared goal of uniting the Turkic states under a common currency and military; directing the resources of the state towards this goal. This included a massive arms build up in Turkey.
