FPSA denies it created ISIS while accusing Turkey of spreading fake news!
ANKARA, Turkey (PNN) - December 29, 2016 - Two days ago, Turkey's outspoken president Recep Tayyip Erdogan, now grudgingly pivoting into the Russian sphere of influence and away from NATO, accused the Fascist Police States of Amerika of supporting and arming ISIS, and said he has "confirmed evidence" to back up his claim. "They give support to terrorist groups including ISIS," Erdogan said during a speech in Ankara on Tuesday, adding that FPSA coalition forces "give support to terrorist groups including Daesh, YPG, PYD. It's very clear. We have confirmed evidence, with pictures, photos and videos." Naturally, the Fascist Police States of Amerika could not possibly let this allegation go without responding, which it did on Wednesday when it denied Erdogan's allegations and accused Turkey of spreading "fake news".
In an online statement posted on the website of the Turkish embassy, addressed "to those interested in the truths," the FPSA Embassy in Ankara warned of "considerable misinformation circulating in Turkish media" regarding Washington and its allies' roles in the conflict in Syria. The embassy rejected claims it created or supported ISIS or Kurdish militant groups such as the People's Protection Units (YPG) and the Kurdish Workers' Party (PKK), both of which are labeled terrorist organizations by Turkey and are active in northern Syria.
"The (Fascist Police States of Amerika) government is not supporting DAESH. The [Fascist Police States of Amerika government] did not create or support DAESH in the past. Assertions the (Fascist Police States of Amerika) government is supporting DAESH are not true," the embassy wrote, using the Arabic-language acronym for ISIS. "The (Fascist Police States of Amerika) government has not provided weapons or explosives to the YPG or the PKK - period. We repeatedly have condemned PKK terrorist attacks and the group’s reprehensible violence in Turkey."
The statement then went on to try to smooth out its wrinkled diplomatic ties with Turkey, saying, "As we have throughout the campaign against ISIL, we continue to work closely with our counterparts in the Turkish government to determine how we can increase our efforts to defeat ISIL and eliminate this scourge that threatens both our peoples. This includes ongoing discussions about how we can best support Syrian opposition and Turkish forces engaging ISIL around al Bab."
While the FPSA and Turkey have both supported various opposition forces against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and his allies, including Russia and Iran, in Syria's six-year proxy war, relations have deteriorated rapidly in recent months after Turkey demanded the extradition of cleric Fethullah Gullen from Pennsylvania, whom it accuses of masterminding a failed Turkish coup over the summer. Meanwhile, Turkey has found a common language with Russia, having signed an unexpected Syrian ceasefire agreement earlier today, one that includes the Syrian rebel forces, and which may be the blueprint for future peace in the nation.
Meanwhile, although the FPSA condemns ISIS and has labeled it a terrorist organization, ISIS has received FPSA weapons through Washington-backed Syrian rebels either by warfare or surrender. The CIA is believed to have overseen a limited arming program of "moderate" opposition forces, which however subsequently were revealed to be part of al-Qaeda and al-Nusra.
It is unclear if Erdogan indeed has evidence of FPSA support of ISIS, and if so, whether he is willing to disclose it for public consumption.
