Everybody knows that the menace of ISIS grew in the Middle East with the help of the JDP (Justice Development Party) government in Turkey



Everybody knows that the menace of ISIS grew in the Middle East with the help of the JDP (Justice Development Party) government in Turkey. We get to understand this reality better with each massacre at the hands of the jihadists. We think this is a good time to republish the case of documents, articles and evidence of such relationship we had compiled earlier on between the JDP and the ISIS.

JDP government of Turkey gave ISIL 49 people to be used as human shields. Turkey gave a consulate building to ISIS to be used as the headquarters. JDP government of Turkey gave a port to be used as the landing site for the jihadists arriving from Libya. Turkey gave planes to transfer militant jihadists from Central Asia and the Caucuses. It was the Turkish government of JDP which gave the media equipment to ISIS so they could publish the propaganda of their savagery. Turkey supplied the state news agency Anadolu Ajansi so that ISIS could promote themselves. Turkish government of JDP gave them roads for attacking the Kurds. ISIS received permission from the Turkish JDP government so they could simply flow unhindered through the borders. Turkey gave ISIS border towns to sit back and relax when the jihadists got tired after long days of severing heads. Turkey provided them with markets to sell the oil they stole. The opportunities were given to ISIS by the Turkish JDP government so they could gather money and fighters. What else could the JDP government give ISIS? Of course, of course, all of these are lies, all of these are made up, all of these are conspiracy theories. Sure. Read on.

1. JDP GAVE 49 PRECIOUS HOSTAGES TO ISIS:
ISIS occupied the Turkish Mosul Consulate building on June 10, 2014. They took 49 consulate workers as hostages, including the Turkish consul. This provided the cover for Turkish government to protect the ISIS by saying, “We can’t do anything against ISIS. If we do anything they may harm our consulate workers.”

What's going on over there makes no sense if we insist on imagining the conflicts are two sided. This is simply NOT a case where the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

The Kurds are fighting ISIS and the central government and the Turks. They are fighting for KURDISH interests, and Turkey of course opposes that because they have a problem with their own suppressed Kurdish population.

The Turkmen are fighting ISIS and the central government and Turkey supports them because they are ethnic Turks.

You CAN'T say that Turkey is allied with ISIS because they act against the Kurds in the first case. They act against ISIS in the second. Doing that is like what the Russians are doing, attacking all factions that oppose the central government as if they were on the same side (so the Russians SAY "we were attacking ISIS" (when they were attacking the Turkmen positions amd Turkey shot down one of their planes). Similarly you can't say the central government is aligned with ISIS because both the Kurds and the Turkmen are fighting both.

In other parts of the country we have different ethnic alliances. For example, because they are located in the hill country around Damascus, the Druze who have no choice to but to oppose the militants (they are "different" Muslims) align with the central government. Doesn't mean that they support it exactly, but their only other choice is Israel and Israel has been staying out of it* (in spite of pressure by the Israeli Druze to help their kinsmen).

ISIS is aligned with nobody, they are fighting the world for their vision of apocolyptic Islam.

* other than treating the wounded of all factions if they can get to the border
