Alwaght- The Turkish military has been ordered to turn a blind eye on ISIS’s activities on Turkey’s border with Syria, allowing the terrorists to dig trenches and plant mines unimpeded, RT reported.
Turkish government has been pretending to fight against ISIS terrorists although RT correspondent’s visit from Turkish town of Karkamis near the border area in Syria controlled by ISIS has reported a different situation.
ISIS terrorists and their fortifications in the Syrian town of Jarablus are “strikingly visible” from the other side of the frontier.
“When we zoom across the border, on top of… the building we can clearly see an IS flag,” reporter said.
It is seen an ISIS “vehicles moving just across the fence [on the border]” and heard the terrorists “calling over their loudspeakers, chanting slogans.’”
The terrorist group, which controls 98 kilometers along the border, had also dug extensive trenches – a task taking months to complete, but completely ignored by the Turkish army.
Bulent Polat, a local shop owner who is one of the few people remaining in Karkamis, confirmed to RT that the terrorists built the fortifications under the nose of Turkish troops.
“These are the trenches ISIS dug, we could see them… We could easily watch them doing it. It’s very close to the border, like 50 meters away. If you can see the trenches from here now, you should have seen them being dug with all that big equipment,” he said.
Bulent has shot numerous videos showing how the Turkish military has turned a blind eye to the terrorists’ activities in Jarablus.
Among other things, they show how ISIS terrorists freely approached Turkish army positions and planted mines unimpeded.
The minefields around Jarablus eventually made it impossible for civilians to flee the ISIS-held town.
“Once when ISIS fired a rocket, when some top army officials came here we asked: ‘Why are you not taking action?’ They said the order from the top is only to take security measures for the soldiers,” Bulent said.
The shop owner believes that “if the army gets the order it will take only 24 hours for them to finish ISIS” in the area.
However, it’s not only the Turkish security forces, but also the US-led coalition that is reluctant to take action against ISIS.
“Whenever we saw a [coalition] plane in the sky, we would say: ‘Hey there is the faker,’” Bulent said.
