TURKEY AND ISIS - COMRADES IN ARMS?



WHY IS TURKEY SUPPORTING  ISLAMIC STATE FIGHTERS IN IRAQ?

Now that U.S. forces are engaged in combat operations against Islamic State fighters in IRAQ, the Obama administration must press ISIS on all fronts, targeting its financing, logistics, and weapons providers. TURKEY — AMERICA’S ally and NATO member — is allegedly involved. Clarifying TURKEY’S role would serve U.S.-TURKEY relations. 

SON OF ERDOGAN ALLEGEDLY FUNDS THE  HUMAN RIGHTS, FREEDOMS AND HUMANITARIAN RELIEF NGO IHH, HISTORICALLY KNOWN OF ASSISTING EXTREMIST GROUPS 

Members of TURKEY’S parliament and prominent personalities described connections between TURKEY, TURKS and militant Sunni organizations, such as the Islamic State in IRAQ and SYRIA (ISIS). They allege a prominent role for TURKEY’S Foundation for Human Rights and Freedoms and Humanitarian Relief (IHH), an Islamic charity with a history of assisting extremist groups. Bilal Erdogan, President-elect Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s son, has ties to the IHH board, and allegedly uses his father’s political network to raise funds for the organization. Some sources say Bilal has served on the IHH board, but the IHH web site does not currently list him as a board member.

An IHH truck was stopped by the gendarmerie near Adana in Hatay on January 1, 2014. It was loaded with arms and ammunition headed for SYRIA. The Hatay public prosecutor tried to launch an investigation, but was blocked. When he filed a criminal complaint alleging obstruction of justice by TURKEY’S Interior Minister and MIT, he was dismissed. Police who stopped the vehicle were fired. The Hatay governor said the operation was a “state secret.”

Turkeys Erratic Foreign Policies



Ammunition was also found on two passenger buses heading to SYRIA. Officers from the antiterrorism branch of the Adana Police Department released photos of ammunition on the buses to the media. They, too, were fired.

In an effort to clear TURKEY’S name, the government cracked down on IHH in early January 2014. TURKISH authorities arrested 23 people, including senior al-Qaeda operatives, associated with IHH, including al-Qaeda’s Middle East deputy leader ?brahim ?en, who is a former Guantanamo Bay detainee, and Al Qaeda’s TURKEY representative, Halis Bayancuk. The move against IHH came just weeks before Geneva II, a major international conference aimed at stopping SYRIA’S civil war, where TURKEY was envisioned to play a leading role.

Members of TURKEY’S parliament allege that the government still supports jihadis — facilitating their travel at border crossings between TURKEY and SYRIA, providing truckloads of weapons, and offering health care at TURKISH state hospitals to wounded warriors.

NOT ALL ISIS FIGHTERS ARE FOREIGN FIGHTERS. ABOUT 10 PERCENT ARE TURKISH CITIZENS

Parliamentarians wrote President-elect Erdogan and Davutoglu asking for an official explanation of government ties to ISIS, and its knowledge about IHH activities. The letters were conveyed through Parliament Speaker Cemil Cicek. The government did not respond.

Deputies report the steady flow of unmarked trucks in Adana, Kilis, Gaziantep, and Kayseri – towns near the border with SYRIA. They believe the trucks are transporting weapons. Residents of Kilis describe routine interaction between TURKISH officials on one side of the border and ISIS on the other.

According to a TURKISH doctor, TURKISH ambulances deliver war-wounded to TURKISH hospitals on the border with SYRIA. They have no papers or identification. The Ministry of Health covers their expenses. The notorious ISIS commander, Abu Muhammed, was photographed receiving treatment at Hatay State Hospital in April 2014.

WHICH DIRECTION IS TURKEY  HEADING? 

Not all ISIS fighters are foreign fighters. About 10 percent are TURKISH citizens, according to a well-known Turkish scholar.

Some Islamist TURKS sympathize with ISIS and support its conservative values. Deputy Prime Minister Bulent Arinc recently said, “A woman will know what is haram [forbidden] and not haram. She will not laugh out loud in public.”

Devotion to Islam is one thing. Assisting Islamists to commit genocide in the name of God is another.

Instead of excuses and denial,TURKISH officials should condemn the Islamic State. To show the world it is serious about fighting terrorism, TURKEY should establish a joint border monitoring mechanism with the UN to make sure no weapons are transferred to ISIS.

Bilal Erdogan should disassociate from the IHH. IHH’s Special Consultative Status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council should be suspended, pending an investigation into its activities.
