a damning report coming up ... RT Question More ISIS, oil & Turkey: RT films trove of jihadist docs detailing illegal trade with Ankara (EXCLUSIVE) Quotes: An RT Documentary crew filming in northern Syria has seen Islamic State (IS, ISIS/ISIL) documents abandoned by retreating terrorists and found by the Kurds that, along with captured IS recruits, provide a stunning insight into the alleged Turkey-IS oil trade links. ... Running a viable militant organization with such remarkable capabilities would be impossible without some logistical and financial support from the outside. ... Turkey, which has been actively engaged in the Syrian war since the outset, has repeatedly denied claims that it is aiding IS. However, while Ankara insists that it is the jihadist group’s sworn enemy, facts on the ground often tell a different story. ... RT spoke to local residents who had been forced to work in the IS oil industry about what it was like working at the terrorist-controlled oil refinery and where the extracted oil was sold. The locals attested that “the extracted oil was delivered to an oil refinery, where it was converted into gasoline, gas and other petroleum products. Then the refined product was sold,” the RT documentary’s author said. “Then intermediaries from Raqqa and Allepo arrived to pick up the oil and often mentioned Turkey.” Important information revealing the connection between IS and Turkey was provided by a Turkish militant previously captured by the Kurds. The IS recruit said on camera that the terrorist group does, in fact, sell oil to Turkey. End summary: Turkey benefits from Islamic State because the terrorist group provides it with cheap oil and is fighting both Syria’s government and Kurdish population. This is an opinion shared by both Kurds and their mortal enemies from the jihadist organization. The IS documents obtained by RT may provide additional evidence revealing the dirty game being played by the government of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Syria. well worth a full read: https://www.rt.com/news/336967-isis-files-oil-turkey-exclusive |

No real surprise here - Erdogan is definitely playing his own game in Syria, and that game is not in alignment with anyone else's approach. I do believe that his rules have changed - many of these documents and facts may be old and not fully reflective of current events, with Turkey moving away from as Daesh-compatible approach as they had in the past. Still, Erdogan is a wild card and (IMO) not a trustworthy ally for the West. |

The entire region is unstable and there are many dodgy dealings going on. I can't pretend to sit here knowing the truth but I can be damned sure someone must be funding them...
