Putin says Russia has proof ISIS oil flows through Turkey on an industrial scale!
PARIS, France (PNN) - November 30, 2015 - After discussing recent geopolitical events with world leaders during the Paris climate talks, Russian President Vladimir Putin said the vast majority of leaders agree that Turkey’s attack on a Russian bomber was unnecessary, as the aircraft was in no way threatening Turkey.
He went on to say that Russian authorities now have additional evidence that the aircraft was shot down with the express purpose of protecting Islamic State oil deliveries. The oil from IS-controlled fields is being exported to Turkey on an industrial scale, he said.
Moscow has grounds to suspect that the Su-24 was downed by Turkish jets on November 24 to secure illegal oil deliveries from Syria to Turkey, Putin said.
The Turkish government’s complicity in large-scale oil production by Islamic State has been repeatedly documented by respected international security scholar Dr. Nafeez Ahmed, who wrote, “Turkey has also played a key role in facilitating the life-blood of ISIS expansion: black market oil sales. Senior political and intelligence sources in Turkey and Iraq confirm that Turkish authorities have actively facilitated ISIS oil sales through the country.”
Last summer, Mehmet Ali Ediboglu, an MP from the main opposition, the Republican People’s Party, estimated the quantity of ISIS oil sales in Turkey at about $800 million - that was over a year ago.
According to the Russian president, terrorists have been abusing the visa-free regime between Russia and Turkey to move freely, adding that Ankara failed to address the issue after it was raised by Russia.
The Turkish government has repeatedly been accused of being one of the largest state sponsors of Islamic State, as the Turks have been facilitating the growth of the jihadist movement - including ISIS.
The fact that NATO continues to allow membership by Turkey, after its blatant support of the Islamic State, should raise serious questions as to whom the NATO alliance calls its allies.
If the Fascist Police States of Amerika truly wants to stop the Islamic State then it would seem logical to call Turkey out for its immense and continued state support of ISIS/Daesh.
The fact remains that Turkey is one of the biggest supporters of global terrorism. With it being a member of NATO, this is a dangerous recipe for every other member of NATO, as well as a danger to global peace.
