Russian Defense Ministry provides hard evidence of Turkish participation in ISIL illegal oil trade

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his family members are directly involved in illegal oil deliveries from Daesh oil fields in Syria, according to Russia’s Defense Ministry.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his family members are directly involved in illegal oil deliveries from oil fields belonging to Daesh (also known as the Islamic State) in Syria, according to Russia’s Defense Ministry as Sputnik reported.

 “Revenues from the sale of oil are one of the most important sources of activity by terrorists in Syria. They earn around $2 billion annually, spending these funds on hiring militants from around the world and equipping them with weapons, equipment, and arms,” Russian Deputy Defense Minister Anatoly Antonov said during a briefing in Moscow.

The ministry provided photographs of columns of oil fuel tankers on the Turkish-Syrian border. Fuel tankers with oil freely cross the border between Turkey and Iraq, according to Russia’s General Staff.

“The main consumer of this oil stolen from the legal owners in Syria and Iraq is Turkey. According to available information, this illegal business includes the upper political leadership of the country, President Erdogan and his family,” Antonov added.

These oil revenues are used not only to enrich the Turkish leadership but to arm terrorists as well, the General Staff stated.

Antonov said that Russia will continue to provide facts that Turkey steals from it’s neighbors, adding that it’s a surprise no one in the West ever noticed that Erdogan’s son is the owner of one of the largest energy companies, while the president’s son-in-law was energy minister.

 

The Russian Defense Ministry has provided evidence of Turkish participation in Daesh illegal oil trade.

 

During the press briefing for the international media, the Russian Defense ministry has provided hard evidence of Turkish participation in ISIL illegal oil trade. The ministry has shown photo and video proof.

According to the ministry’s statement, the briefing is titled “Russian Federation Armed Forces fighting against international terrorism. New data.”

The Russian Aerospace Forces commenced precision airstrikes in Syria against Islamic State (IS, or Daesh in the Arab world), a group that is outlawed in Russia and a number of other countries, on September 30, following a request from Syrian President Bashar Assad.

Russia has repeatedly called for a broader cooperation in the fight against extremists in Syria, but has not received a constructive reply from its partners, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said last week.

All evidences to be published on the MoD website

The Russian Defense ministry will keep updating on the evidence.

“We continue to receive facts of Turkey robbing its neighbors,” Russian Deputy Defense Minister Anatoly Antonov said during a briefing in Moscow.

 

All the materials have been published on the MoD official website.

“We presented evidence how the illegal oil trade is carried out to finance the terrorist groups,” Antonov said. “We know how much Erdogan’s words are worth.”

Erdogan’s resignation is not our objective – it is up to the Turkish people, he added.

No one in the West had no interest in Erdogan’s son being involved in the illegal oil trade, but Russian journalists are brave to tell the truth about Turkish crimes.

“If they think these are fake evidence let them make these areas available to journalists,” the Deputy Defense Minister said.
