Turkey openly admitted on Wednesday that it had sent “thousands” of ISIS terrorists to the West.
“We have sent thousands of members of the Daesh terrorist organization (ISIS) to the West because they were transported to conflict zones,” Soilu said. “They are partners in drug trafficking, immigration and oil smuggling,” Turkish Interior Minister Suleyman Soylu said in a speech.
Soylu also said the West created – and continues to fund – ISIS and the Kurds, identifying the two organizations for political reasons.
“The PKK (Kurdistan Workers’ Party) and Daesh are not enemies,” Soilu said. “Both are young children of the West.”
Soylu also said that Turkey “has to deal with vicious minds”, arguing that Europe is helping terrorists. “They receive support from France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany and all European countries.”
Soylu has a history of inflammatory comments, but these are out of the ordinary, at least in the West.
“They are doing this through the intelligence services,” Soilu said, noting that the West supports terrorist organizations through its own government, including the national security mechanism. “They share the money, use it to continue their terrorist activities and maintain an illegal lifestyle.”
This is not the first time that Turkey has tried to throw the ball of its relations with the Islamic State in the West or in Europe. 2.5 years ago, a very characteristic article of the state TRT of Turkey accused Greece of training Kurdish terrorists in Lavrio since 1984!
A few months later, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoλουlu made a similar statement, accusing Greece of supporting terrorist organizations such as the PKK and that it had trained terrorists and attacked Turkey.
