StopNATOcrimes's video: Volatile Islamist Turkey With Ties To ISIS May Soon Become EU Member

Ex ISIS Member Reveals Turkey, a NATO Member, Is Supporting Islamic State Testimony provided by a former member of the Islamic State in Syria indicates that ISIS militants view NATO member Turkey as their ally, and highlights the extent to which the militant group has coordinated its efforts with the Turkish government. A former Islamic State communications technician working out the ISIS communications bureau in the Syrian stronghold of Raqqa said in an interview with Newsweek, that the Turkish government allowed ISIS convoys to cross freely over its border and travel through the country to avoid combat in Kurdish controlled regions of Syria in efforts to attack more vulnerable Kurdish troops in Syria's northeastern region. Speaking under the pseudonym of "Sherko Omer", the former ISIS communications technician who managed to escape, further added that the basis for the Turkish cooperation is that ISIS and Turkey share a common enemy: the Kurds. "ISIS saw the Turkish army as its ally especially when it came to attacking the Kurds in Syria," Omer said. "The Kurds were the common enemy for both ISIS and Turkey. Also, ISIS had to be a Turkish ally because only through Turkey they were able to deploy ISIS fighters to northern parts of the Kurdish cities and towns in Syria." Having worked in the ISIS communications bureau, Omer said that ISIS commanders had established a reliable line of communication with the Turkish army that allowed for ISIS convoys to travel through Turkey. When ISIS sent battalions to combat Kurdish forces in the most northeastern portions of Syria, they were allowed to cross through Turkey and that prevented ISIS forces from having to battle their way through the Kurdish-controlled portions of Syria... A spokesman for Kurdish People's Protection Unit (YPG) Pat Can told Newsweek that Turkish army is doing more to help ISIS than just letting them cross through their border freely. He said there is evidence that Turkey has also given supplies to ISIS, as well. "There is more than enough evidence with us now proving that the Turkish army gives ISIS terrorists weapons, ammunitions and allows them to cross the Turkish official border crossings in order for ISIS terrorists to initiate inhumane attacks against the Kurdish people in Rojava [north-eastern Syria]," Can said.
