WASHINGTON, (ST)- A new report issued by the US Department of Defense has revealed that during the first quarter of this year, the Turkish regime, led by Recep Tayyip Erdogan, recruited nearly 4 thousand mercenary terrorists in Syria and Turkey and sent them to Libya to achieve its expansionist ambitions and conspiracies that have reached the oil- rich Libyan territories.
The Pentagon’s quarterly report, published by the Associated Press, said that the Turkish regime has offered money and the Turkish citizenship to thousands of mercenaries in order to fight in Libya. Between 3,500 and 3,800 mercenaries have been sent to Libya over the first three months of this year, the report added.
Earlier, the British “Investigative Journal” website uncovered that the Turkish regime has recruited his terrorist mercenaries in Syria and sent them to Libya after paying each one of them $2000 per month.
According to Pentagon’s report, 300 of the recruited mercenaries arrived in Libya late last April. The report pointed out that Turkey also deployed an unidentified number of Turkish soldiers in Libya during the same period.
Many media reports have documented Erdogan’s regime’s continued acts of transferring thousands of terrorist mercenaries from Syria’s northern region to Libya accompanied by Turkish soldiers and with Qatar’s support and funding in order to back the militias of Fayez al-Sarraj government in Libya.
Spokesman of the Libyan National Army Ahmed Al-Mismari has affirmed that the intelligence body of the Turkish regime has been transferring terrorists, affiliated to Daesh and Jabhat al-Nusra terrorist organizations, from Syria to Libya.
