Alwaght- ISIS Takfiri terrorist group in Syria obtained all required materials to produce deadly chemical weapons through Turkey, a Turkish MP has revealed.
Speaking to RT, Turkish MP Eren Erdem has told that there are grounds to believe a cover up has taken place.
Erdem who is a member of the main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) brought up the issue for public discussion in the country's parliament last week, citing evidence from an abruptly-closed criminal case. He accused Ankara of failing to investigate Turkish supply routes used to provide terrorists with toxic sarin gas ingredients.
“There is data in this indictment. Chemical weapon materials are being brought to Turkey and being put together in Syria in camps of ISIS which was known as Iraqi al-Qaeda during that time," Erdem noted.
Sarin gas is a military-grade chemical that was used in a notorious attack on Ghouta and several other neighborhoods near the Syrian capital of Damascus in 2013. The attacks were pinned on the Syrian leadership, who in turn agreed to get rid of all chemical weapons stockpiles under a UN-brokered deal amid an imminent threat of US intervention.
Addressing parliamentarians on Thursday, Erdem showed a copy of the criminal case number 2013/120 that was opened by the General Prosecutor's Office in the city of Adana in southern Turkey.
The investigation revealed that a number of Turkish citizens took part in negotiations with ISIS terrorist group representatives on the supply of sarin gas. Pointing to evidence cited in the criminal case, he said that wiretapped phone conversations proved that an Al-aaeda terrorist, Hayyam Kasap, acquired sarin.
Erdem said that according to some evidence Turkish Mechanical and Chemical Industry Corporation was also involved, with some unconfirmed reports pointing in the direction of a government cover up, with Turkish Minister of Justice Bekir Bozdag’s involvement.
Furthermore, Erdem argues that the West purposely blamed the regime of Bashar Assad for the August 2013 attacks and used it as part of the pretext to make US military intervention in Syria possible. The MP said that evidence in Adana’s case, according to his judgment, proves that IS was responsible.
In July 2013m The Russian ambassador to the United Nations says that firsthand evidence shows that foreign-backed terrorists, and not the Syrian army, manufactured sarin nerve gas and used it during an attack near the city of Aleppo in March. Ambassador Vitaly Churkin said that Russian experts collected samples at the site of the attack in the region of Khan al-Assal, where over two dozen people, including 16 Syrian troops, died on March 19. The samples were examined at a laboratory in Russia which is certified by the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), and the results of the analysis prove that a missile fired by the terrorists was filled with sarin, he stated.
