Daesh made $800m from oil sales in Turkey: Iraqi MP

[BanglaBhoot]

The Daesh Takfiri terrorists have made over $800 million dollars in black market oil sales in Turkey over the last eight months, says Iraqi MP.

“This is Iraqi oil and Syrian oil, carried by trucks from Iraq, from Syria through the borders to Turkey and sold ...[at] less than 50 percent of the international oil price,” said Mowaffak al-Rubaie in an interview with RT published on Sunday.

He noted that the oil is either “consumed inside” Turkey after being refined in Turkish facilities or is piped to the Mediterranean where it is sold on the international market.

“Money and dollars generated by selling Iraqi and Syrian oil on the Turkish black market is like the oxygen supply to Daesh and its operation,” he added. “Once you cut the oxygen then Daesh will suffocate.”

He went on to stress that there is “no shadow of a doubt” that the government in Ankara is aware of the these smuggling operations.

“The merchants and the businessmen [are buying oil] in the black market in Turkey under the noses – under the auspices if you like – of the Turkish intelligence agency and the Turkish security apparatus,” he said.

The parliamentarian referred to information gathered by Iraqi intelligence services, which indicates that some Turkish security officers sympathize with the Takfiris.

“They are allowing them to go from Istanbul to the borders and infiltrate ... Syria and Iraq,” he said.

He also said that Turkey provides medical aid to injured terrorists in border facilities and even in “Istanbul itself.”

This is not the first time Ankara is being implicated in support for Daesh, whose militants have been committing crimes against the lives and heritage of people in Iraq and Syria.

Apart from Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar have also contributed to violence, which has gripped the neighboring Arab states for the past two years.

Hardly surprising
We all know Islamic State gets their funds by smuggling oil to Turkish black market.

Everybody knows Turkey is one of the biggest supporter of ISIS.

Not only black market.Some Turkish officers support them and smuggle their oil to make money.

 

[Nadezhda]

Putin rightly refereed them as "accomplices of terrorists"

 

[Moonlight]

Doesn't that help ISIS? This money is later spend on killing innocent civilians. The world even know the oil is being smuggled by DAESH, then why not taking any action on it? Or we really don't care about the lives anymore?

Well .. ISIS aren't professional smugglers. They just take the oil to the border and rest is done by Turkish officials themselves.

Turkey’s ops not directed at Islamic State – Pentagon head to US Congress

Edited time: 2 Dec, 2015 00:49


The US says Turkey’s operations are not “directed” at Islamic State and the Pentagon would like Ankara “to do more” both in the air and on the ground. It has also failed to control its borders “effectively,” Secretary of Defense Ash Carter told Congress.
“I have been urging, actually, since I’ve come to this job, Turkey to do more,” the US defense chief said.

Carter stressed that Turkey’s geography – “right there next to Iraq and Syria” – makes it an especially useful asset to the US-led mission against Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL), but its NATO ally has failed to pull its weight so far.

“Most of their air operations are not directed at ISIL,” Carter said. “They are directed at the PKK, which we understand their concern about — it’s a terrorist organization within their borders — but we would like to see them do more against ISIL.”

The Pentagon wants Turkey to focus primarily on “its own territories,”i.e. go after “tentacles of ISIS” in Turkish territory and better control its borders with Syria, “which it has not done effectively since ISIS arose,” according to Carter’s testimony.

“We would like them to operate more both in the air and on the ground,” the Defense Secretary said.

In mid-November, the US and Turkey “entered an operation” to entirely close off the border of northern Syria, the territory long contested between Kurdish militias and IS fighters. The agreement came not long after Ankara declared its plans to “act militarily” against Islamic State.

Even earlier, Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan had stated that he would “do what is necessary,” including using force, to combat the Kurdish “mindset” of autonomy in Syria.

Since beginning its military operations, Turkey has been accused of targeting Kurdish militias that are fighting IS but also aligned with Turkish Kurds against the Turkish government.

The Kurds have also been involved in the fight against IS in Iraq, where in November they launched an offensive to retake Iraq’s northern city of Sinjar, which had been controlled by Islamic State for over a year.

The operation, dubbed Free Sinjar, included the Turkey-based Kurdish Workers’ Party (PKK), among several other factions.

In his Tuesday testimony, Carter also announced the deployment of special forces to Syria to “conduct raids, free hostages, gather intelligence, and capture ISIL leaders.”

“That creates a virtuous cycle of better intelligence, which generates more targets, more raids, and more momentum,” he added.

They are instead targeting one of the few armed groups fighting Isis makes big isis stronger

U.S.A dis war to Iraq for oil essentially... They got it, they did profit from it... They sold it to several countries.

So what is the difference between Turkey and USA ? Is that Usa are a super power and Turkey is not ?

That's philosophical questions.

I'm agree that whoever support daesh should be dealt according laws. But what about who permitted their existence first... Doesn't the example of Taliban in Afghanistan enough to understand that destroying states is wrong solution to eradicate people from their dictators ic that was the real motive behind the westerns' intervention.


So we face, imho, to 2 problems :

1. Terrorists organizations
agreed. We need to fight them by any means.

2. The cause who gave birth to these organizations.

Nobody is talking about it and I'm quite sure that same mistake will be repeated again and again.

Meet The Man Who Funds ISIS: Bilal Erdogan, The Son Of Turkey’s President
In addition to son Bilal’s illegal and lucrative oil trading for ISIS, Sümeyye Erdogan, the daughter of the Turkish President apparently runs a secret hospital camp inside Turkey just over the Syrian border.

“The Most Important Question About ISIS That Nobody Is Asking” who is the one “breaching every known law of funding terrorism when buying ISIS crude, almost certainly with the tacit approval by various “western alliance” governments, and why is it that these governments have allowed said middleman to continue funding ISIS for as long as it has?”

Who cart away ISIS oil to European and other international markets in exchange for hundreds of millions of dollars, one name keeps popping up as the primary culprit of regional demand for the Islamic State’s “terrorist oil” – that of Turkish president Recep Erdogan’s son: Bilal Erdogan.

Bilal’s various business ventures, starting with his BMZ Group which is the name implicated most often in the smuggling of illegal Iraqi and Islamic State through to the western supply chain, but for now here is a brief, if very disturbing snapshot, of both father and son Erdogan by F. William Engdahl, one which should make everyone ask whether the son of Turkey’s president (and thus, the father) is the silent mastermind who has been responsible for converting millions of barrels of Syrian Oil into hundreds of millions of dollars of Islamic State revenue.

Erdogan’s Dirth Dangerous ISIS Games
More and more details are coming to light revealing that the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, variously known as ISIS, IS or Daesh, is being fed and kept alive by Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the Turkish President and by his Turkish intelligence service, including MIT, the Turkish CIA. Turkey, as a result of Erdogan’s pursuit of what some call a Neo-Ottoman Empire fantasies that stretch all the way to China, Syria and Iraq, threatens not only to destroy Turkey but much of the Middle East if he continues on his present path.

In October 2014 US Vice President Joe Biden told a Harvard gathering that Erdogan’s regime was backing ISIS with “hundreds of millions of dollars and thousands of tons of weapons…” Biden later apologized clearly for tactical reasons to get Erdo?an’s permission to use Turkey’s Incirlik Air Base for airstrikes against ISIS in Syria, but the dimensions of Erdogan’s backing for ISIS since revealed is far, far more than Biden hinted.

ISIS militants were trained by US, Israeli and now it emerges, by Turkish special forces at secret bases in Konya Province inside the Turkish border to Syria, over the past three years. Erdo?an’s involvement in ISIS goes much deeper. At a time when Washington, Saudi Arabia and even Qatar appear to have cut off their support for ISIS, they remaining amazingly durable. The reason appears to be the scale of the backing from Erdo?an and his fellow neo-Ottoman Sunni Islam Prime Minister, Ahmet Davuto?lu.


The prime source of money feeding ISIS these days is sale of Iraqi oil from the Mosul region oilfields where they maintain a stronghold. The son of Erdogan it seems is the man who makes the export sales of ISIS-controlled oil possible.

Bilal Erdo?an owns several maritime companies. He has allegedly signed contracts with European operating companies to carry Iraqi stolen oil to different Asian countries. The Turkish government buys Iraqi plundered oil which is being produced from the Iraqi seized oil wells. Bilal Erdogan’s maritime companies own special wharfs in Beirut and Ceyhan ports that are transporting ISIS’ smuggled crude oil in Japan-bound oil tankers.

Syria looks like a free-for-all now. Everyone is killing their top most enemy. And ISIS is at the top on noone(who is on the ground)'s list. So Assad and his allies hit FSA. Turkey hits Kurds. Kurds push ISIS away only from their major cities and keep attacking Turkish targets. FSA, Al-Nusra Front et all attacks Syrian army. Turkey attacks Russian planes targetting their allies. All others are fighting I-dont-know-who.
