Alwaght- More evidence has emerged of close collaboration between ISIS terrorists and the Turkish government in the lucrative oil trade that has funded the activities of the Takfiri group.
RT has obtained crucial documents abandoned by retreating ISIS terrorists and found by the Kurds that provide a stunning insight into the Turkey-ISIS oil trade.
Following the ejection of ISIS terrorists Shaddadi in the Syrian province Hasakah, RT filmed Kurdish soldiers walking around what used to be the homes of IS fighters and examining piles documents that had been left behind.
Some of the files seized at the scene turned out to be detailed invoices used by ISISI to calculate daily revenues from their oil fields and refineries, as well as the amount of oil extracted there. All the documents had Islamic State’s symbol at the top.
Every invoice included the name of the driver, the vehicle type driven, and the weight of the truck, both full and empty, as well as the agreed upon price and invoice number.
One of the discovered invoices dated 11 January, 2016, says that ISIS had extracted some 1,925 barrels of oil from Kabibah oil field and sold it for $38,342.
Important information revealing the connection between ISIS and Turkey was provided by a Turkish terrorist previously captured by the Kurds. The ISIS recruit said on camera that the terrorist group does, in fact, sell oil to Turkey. Turkey benefits from ISIS terrorist because the terrorist group provides it with cheap oil and is fighting both Syria’s government and Kurdish population.
Early December Russian Defense Ministry released evidence which unmasked vast illegal oil trade by Islamic State and points to Turkey as the main destination for the smuggled petrol, implicating its leadership in aiding the terrorists.
According to Deputy Defense Minister Anatoly Antonov, Russia is aware of three main oil smuggling routes to Turkey. However, since the start of Russia’s anti-terrorist operation in Syria on September 30, the income of ISIS terrorists from illegal oil smuggling has been significantly reduced, the ministry said.
Russian officials say the income of this terrorist organization was about $3 million per day, but after two months of Russian airstrikes which began in late September, their income was about $1.5 million a day.
Intelligence sources say the son of Turkish President Bilal Erdogan is directly linked to ISIS terrorists, and he controls the Syrian oil flows to Turkey.
