Turkey: The Islamic State’s Second Home
http://www.globalresearch.ca/turkey-the-islamic-states-second-home/5502082

A recent bombing in the Turkish city of Istanbul has left at least 10 dead and 15 injured. The government in Ankara was quick to blame the so-called “Islamic State” (ISIS/ISIL/Daesh), claiming the bomber was “Syrian” and had crossed over from Syria into Turkey before carrying out the terrorist attack.

The Guardian would report in its article, “Deadly Istanbul blast ’caused by Isis suicide bomber’,” that:

“We have determined that the perpetrator of the attack is a foreigner who is a member of Daesh,” prime minister Ahmet Davutoğlu said, using an Arabic acronym for Isis. “Turkey won’t backtrack in its struggle against Daesh by even one step … This terror organisation, the assailants and all of their connections will be found and they will receive the punishments they deserve.”

However, an overabundance of evidence during the past several years indicates that ISIS is in fact both an intentional creation and continuous perpetuation of foreign state-sponsors of terrorism, including Turkey itself.

Turkey: ISIS’ Second Home

Implicating Turkey as one of ISIS’ primary patrons is not done through mere insinuation or by referencing one or two obscure references. It starts with its closest allies among the NATO alliance it is a member of, and continues month after month, year after year, report after report from media organizations covering the conflict in Syria from every conceivable angle, both favorable and unfavorable for Ankara.

As early as 2012, a Department of Intelligence Agency (DIA) document (.pdf) admitted in regards to the Syrian conflict that:

If the situation unravels there is the possibility of establishing a declared or undeclared Salafist principality in eastern Syria (Hasaka and Der Zor), and this is exactly what the supporting powers to the opposition want, in order to isolate the Syrian regime, which is considered the strategic depth of the Shia expansion (Iraq and Iran).

Mention of this “Salafist” (Islamic) “principality” (State) is clearly when it was decided to transform US, Saudi, and Turkish-backed Al Qaeda affiliates into ISIS. To clarify just who these “supporting powers” were, mentioned in the document who sought the creation of a “Salafist principality,” the DIA report explains (emphasis added):

The West, Gulf countries, and Turkey support the opposition; while Russia, China, and Iran support the regime.

While the US and Saudi Arabia’s role in the creation of Al Qaeda in the 1980’s is well-known, and at least Saudi Arabia’s continued state-sponsorship of terrorism including Al Qaeda and ISIS is relatively well-known, what evidence is there that Turkey has been involved in directly supporting terrorism in Syria, and specifically, supporting ISIS itself?

It was also in 2012, that it would be admitted that the US, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia were supplying hundreds of tons of weapons, through Turkey with the aid of US intelligence agents along the border, to militants fighting in neighboring Syria. Logistical pipelines were created north of Aleppo and northeast of the commercially and culturally important city.

These logistical pipelines, over time, would morph into ISIS’ primary logistical corridors until first the Kurds cut them off to the northeast, and now Russian and Syrian forces are cutting them off to the north.

If Turkey Created and Still Perpetuates ISIS, Why the Bombing?

It is perhaps this need to portray Turkey at war with ISIS that leads us back to the deadly attack in Istanbul and other recent bombings like it attributed to “ISIS.” If ISIS appears to be carrying out terrorist attacks in Turkey – Ankara, Washington, and Wall Street reason – few will suspect Turkey is in fact one of the primary state-sponsors perpetuating ISIS’ continued existence in Syria.

If anyone questions Turkey’s willingness to self-inflict egregious terrorist attacks upon its own people within its own borders, one needs only study NATO’s extensive, decades-long operation of its various stay behind networks – including Turkey’s “Grey Wolves” terrorist organization that killed thousands in political violence and terrorism both within Turkey’s borders and well beyond them.

To this day, the Grey Wolves remain engaged in violence, having attacked very publicly the Thai consulate in Istanbul, and having been linked to both terrorism in China’s Xinjiang region as well as having been implicated in a 2015 blast that rocked Bangkok and killed 20 people.

Considering the hundreds of supply trucks a day departing Turkey, bound for ISIS’ defacto capital in Raqqa, and fleets of tankers filled with looted Syrian oil entering back into Turkey forming the cornerstone of ISIS’ logistical and financial networks, it is clear that if Raqqa is the heart of ISIS, Turkey’s role in running ISIS logistics serves as the arteries feeding that heart with the blood it needs to continue beating.

If Turkey is blaming ISIS for the recent attack in Istanbul, then it is clear that it is in turn implicating itself. When asking why it would do that, the simplest answer stands to reason – because if people believe ISIS is attacking Turkey, they are less likely to believe Turkey is in fact backing ISIS. And as long as this charade can continue convincingly, that backing can continue until the goal of destroying Syria is achieved.

Turkey detains 12 academics for criticizing military campaign against Kurds

https://www.rt.com/news/329026-turkey-academics-investigation-declaration/

Facing Repression, Turkish Academics Circulate New Anti-Erdogan Petition

http://sputniknews.com/politics/20160118/1033337374/turkish-academics-new-anti-erdogan-petition.html

Last week, the Erdogan government cracked down on the Turkish academic community after over 1,400 academics from 89 universities signed a petition urging the government to "stop the massacre and deportation" of Kurds in the south of the country. Now, academics have prepared a new, harder edged petition, consisting of four points.

Last week, Turkish authorities detained 18 academics opposed to the government's treatment of the Kurdish minority, accusing the teachers of 'terrorist propaganda', in a move which human rights groups and academics from around the world quickly condemned.

Now, the repressed academics have prepared a new, more forceful petition, Sputnik Turkey reports.

Professor Baskin Oran, one of the academics who signed both petitions, filled Sputnik in on the contents of the new appeal, and commented on the desperate situation which has unfolded in the country.

The new petition, which has four points, reads as follows:

"1. The Erdogan regime, using the pretext of unrest in the country which they themselves created (i.e., a situation reminiscent of the coup of September 12, 1980), will not be able to apply dictatorial pressure on Turkish academics and the Turkish people who a point of view which is different from the official ideology."

"2. The situation associated with the construction of trenches and barricades in southeast Turkey did not come about as a result of today's conflict. It is the result of the promises which were given to the Kurds, beginning in 1919, and which have not been fulfilled, resulting in frustration caused by the winding down of negotiations on the settlement of the Kurdish question, and the suffocating repression against the Kurdish population."

"3. Erdogan's regime, hiding behind various pretexts, will not be able to kill the Kurdish people, will not be able to harass and humiliate the residents of the southeastern provinces of the country, and will not be able to turn their cities into ruins."

"4. The Kurdistan Workers' Party [a militant organization officially banned in Turkey], in the fight against the state's policy aimed at the destruction of the Kurdish population, must not harm civilians, using the methods of blind, merciless terror, which enables the Turkish authorities to further increase pressure on the civilian population."

The current situation, Professor Oran suggested, is reminiscent of the period which followed the military coup of September 12, 1980. "At that time [too], our patience had come to an end, and the academic community issued an appeal to the authorities. But even in that period's darkest moments, the government did not openly apply the level of repression [against academics] which it is today. At the same time, Erdogan has brought the situation to a point where we can no longer remain silent."

Asked why the academics' appeal caused such an apparent overreaction from authorities, Oran suggested that it was part of Erdogan's failed attempt to intimidate the Turkish people. "Was it rational or irrational to inflate the situation to such an extent? Of course it was irrational. But from Erdogan's view, this was reasonable cause [for a crackdown]. Erdogan is attempting to intimidate the Turkish people. At every possible opportunity, he attempts to sow chaos and to deepen the rift in Turkish society."

"This time, he found a pretext in the petition of the academics. Dictatorial and authoritarian regimes from time immemorial have used similar rhetoric, similar words of accusation and insult, to achieve the desired effect. And these templates have been left unchanged.

At the same time, Oran warned, "dictators are mistaken in their belief that people can be restrained forever, increasing the level of pressure and repression against them. At a certain point, when the degree of pressure exceeds that which the people are able to withstand, it will become impossible to hold back their protest and discontent. Erdogan will have to face the consequences of such a protest."

Turkey probes opposition chief over 'Erdogan dictator' jibe

http://english.ahram.org.eg/NewsContent/2/9/181351/World/International/Turkey-probes-opposition-chief-over-Erdogan-dictat.aspx

Turkish prosecutors on Monday launched an investigation into the head of Turkey's main opposition party for calling President Recep Tayyip Erdogan a "tinpot dictator", adding to concerns over freedom of expression in the country.

Kemal Kilicdaroglu was speaking out against the detention of Turkish academics last week over a petition condemning the military crackdown in the Kurdish-dominated southeast, just days after Erdogan threatened the signatories.

"Academics who express their opinion are being detained, one by one, because of a tinpot dictator," Kilicdaroglu told a congress of his Republican People's Party (CHP) at the weekend.

"How dare you (Erdogan) send police to these peoples' doors and have them detained."

"Tell us, tinpot dictator, what do honour and pride mean to you? Either you maintain your impartiality and get respect or I will remind you every day what honour and pride mean."

The chief prosecutor's office in Ankara launched the probe against Kilicdaroglu on charges of "openly insulting the president," the official Anatolia new agency reported.

The crime is punishable by up to four years in prison.

Erdogan has separately filed a civil lawsuit against Kilicdaroglu, seeking 100,000 Turkish Liras ($33,300; 32,200 euros) in compensation for "slander" from the CHP leader, the private NTV channel said.

Justice Minister Bekir Bozdag on Monday slammed Kilicdaroglu over the dictator jibe, writing on Twitter: "I pity Mr Kilicdaroglu for not being able to criticise our dear president without insulting him."

"Only those who lack intelligence, knowledge, and morality can insult others like that under the disguise of freedom of expression."

Erdogan had in June last year filed a lawsuit against Kilicdaroglu for "slander" for claiming the president's vast palace in Ankara had gold-plated toilet seats.

Also on Monday, prosecutors in the northwestern Yalova province demanded two years in jail for Cem Yilmaz, Turkey's most popular stand-up comedian, on charges of insulting the provincial governor in a series of tweets criticising the official over the death of a math teacher.

High school teacher Halil Serkan Oz, 42, died of a heart attack during a protest in Yalova in April last year against the governor Selim Cebiroglu, who had publicly scolded him for his clothes and beard, saying he could be "mistaken for a beggar."

Following the death of the teacher, Yilmaz tweeted: "Crushing a man by using the power of an official position and fatally breaking his heart... What a shame that the poor teacher died. May you rise to even more important positions, Mr Governor!"

According to pro-government Sabah newspaper, Yilmaz told prosecutors: "It's quite natural for me to get upset by the death of a person not just as an artist but also as an ordinary citizen. I didn't mean to insult anyone; it's my right to criticise."

Concerns have mounted in recent months over freedom of expression in Turkey, in particular over the spiralling numbers of Turks being taken to court on charges of insulting Erdogan, accused by his opponents of increasing authoritarianism.

Prosecutors on Thursday began a vast investigation into over 1,200 academics for engaging in "terrorist propaganda" by signing a petition urging Ankara to halt "its deliberate massacres" in the Kurdish-majority region.

On Friday Turkish police detained at least 18 of them, sparking fresh international concern at restrictions on freedom of expression in Turkey. The academics were all released on Saturday after a day of questioning, Turkish media said.

Turkey is waging an all-out offensive against the separatist Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), with military operations backed by curfews aimed at flushing out rebels from several southeastern urban centres.

Human rights activists say dozens of civilians have died as a result of excessive force.

Turkey Deploys Mine Sweepers to Border with Syria

http://en.farsnews.com/newstext.aspx?nn=13941029001581

These machines have been deployed across the Turkey-Jarablus border crossing. Jarablus is located in the north of Aleppo province.

It has been speculated that these machines have been deployed before a Turkish intervention to create a safe zone. This speculation would be hard to fathom since Russia has warned against any further Turkish intervention in Syria.

Other theories also speculate that the reason for this is to clear another safe passage for Turkey to arm and aid terrorist groups that oppose the SDF and Syrian Arab Army. SDF are making rapid gains along the period regions. ISIS are the group controlling Jarablus, but it is well documented that Turkey fears a strong and unified Kurdish presence on its border, especially with Turkey undergoing a violent campaign against the Kurdistan Workers Party in its eastern provinces.

The Syrian Arab Army has made rapid gains in Latakia province and are moving towards Idlib province, a province that was overrun by terrorist forces including Al-Qaeda franchise Al-Nusra Front in March and April 2015. The province was overun by the terrorist forces who deployed from Turkey and had open direct assistance from Turkey and Saudi Arabia.

Washington-The United States is accelerating efforts to help Turkey clamp down on its border with Syria, senior US officials said, and for the first time will offer technologies to Ankara to help it secure the frontier.

Washington and Ankara have been discussing for months how to seal the last piece of unsecured border, a 98-kilometer-long (60 mile-long) stretch that has served as a thruway for Islamic State fighters, black-market goods and war materiel.

Islamic State controls the Syrian side of the border, and the effort to secure it assumed new urgency after November's deadly Paris attacks. Some of the Paris attackers used or attempted to use the Syria-Turkey border to travel between Islamic State-held territory and Europe, the officials said.

sToRmR1dR,

I sometimes do not see how some of your posts relate to Turkey but after looking at this one I guess Erdogan's telephone call links this to Turkey.

Turkish President expresses grief over Charsadda attack

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan telephoned Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and expressed condolences over the attack.

According to a statement, the two leaders agreed terrorism was the common enemy and joint efforts were needed to eliminate the menace.

I am trying to keep this on the chessboard and that is why I was reluctant to split all these developments away from Putin - He's giving it to the USA with both barrels.......... I am trying to follow the events as best I can. As you can see these events eventually tie in with the world stage and how Russia, China and the PTB are reacting. Anyway, I thank you for your posts despite my multitasking challenges.

It is strange how Erdogan can be so sympathetic to Pakistan while supporting ISIS terrorists by allowing free flow of supplies, personnel and oil across Turkey's borders .

No evidence Turkey wants to fight Daesh: Iraqi PM

http://www.presstv.com/Detail/2016/01/22/446823/Iraq-Haider-alAbadi-Turkey-Daesh-Davos-/

The Iraqi prime minister has cast doubt on Turkey’s willingness to combat Daesh terrorists, saying Ankara should focus on fighting the Takfiri group instead of targeting its Kurdish population.

Haider al-Abadi said in an interview with CNBC at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, on Thursday that Turkey viewed the Kurdish population within its border as a greater problem than Daesh.

“The Turks are telling us otherwise, (that) they’re eager to fight Daesh. But I’m telling them frankly, I’m not seeing evidence of that. I hope to see more evidence of that,” Abadi said.
The Iraqi premier further urged officials in Ankara to take Daesh threats seriously and “shift their priority from considering the Kurds as their problem” to battling the Takfiri terror group, which has seized swathes of land in Iraq and neighboring Syria since 2014.

Abadi also expressed Baghdad’s willingness to improve relations with Ankara, but made clear that Turkey’s extension of its troop deployment to Iraq was “not helpful at all.”

“I think Turkey is looking to go back to the Ottoman Empire thing, I don’t think there’s a place in the region for that,” he added.

Last month, Turkey deployed some 150 soldiers, equipped with heavy weapons and backed by 20 to 25 tanks, to the outskirts of Mosul, the capital of Iraq’s Nineveh province.

Ankara claimed that its troops had been deployed in northern Iraq to train Iraqi Kurdish Peshmerga fighters against Daesh.

Abadi has said Turkish troops deployed to northern Iraq were causing a “lot of tension,” adding there was no reason for their deployment deep inside the Iraqi border.

Turkish warplanes routinely carry out attacks on what they claim to be Daesh targets in northern Iraq. The raids have repeatedly drawn an angry reaction from Baghdad, which has denounced Ankara for violating the country’s sovereignty.

Turkish Downing Of US Marine Helicopters Killing 12 American Soldiers

http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=8bc_1453483837

A grim Security Council (SC) report circulating in the Kremlin today states that Ministry of Defense (MoD) officials were “stunned” last week after a Turkish Air Force fighter jet operating within its own airspace fired upon and downed two CH-53 Sea Stallion helicopters being flown by the US Marine Corps Forces Special Operations Command (MARSOC) over Kurdish held territory in the eastern Syrian “department” of the Levant War Zone killing all 12 of the American military troops on board.

According to this report, on 14 January, these two MARSOC helicopters departed from Ayn al-Asad Airbase in Iraq for a “normal/routine” re-supply mission of US Marine and British Special Forces troopscurrently embedded with Kurdish Peoples Protection Unit (YPG) fighters battling Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL/Daesh) terrorists near the Turkish border in north eastern Syria near the city of Raqqa when this “war crime” occurred.

Immediately upon Federation Aerospace Forces detecting this Turkish “unprovoked” attack upon these two MARSOC helicopters, this report continues, Russian commanders notified the Combined Air Operations Center (CAOC) at Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar advising the American’s of their willingness to assist in search and rescues missions, but which the US commanders stated they did not need as their own TRAP forces (tactical recovery of aircraft and personnel) had already been alerted.

Most outlandishly, this report notes, is that within 5 hours of Turkey shooting down these two MARSOC helicopters in Syria, Aerospace Forces satellites monitoring the Pacific Ocean region detected what they believed at the time to be an unannounced test of a US Navy RIM-8 Talos missile in the waters surrounding the Hawaii Islands—but which within two hours of its firing and exploding the US Navy announced two of its CH-53 helicopters had “crashed”, and just yesterday announced they had ceased attempting to find either these aircraft or its crew members.

As to why the Obama regime would deliberately conceal from the American people this “deliberate war crime”, this report explains, is due to their fears of what the reactions of their citizens would be upon learning that these 12 brave US Marines were killed by their own NATO ally Turkey—who at the exact same time the US is fighting with and assisting the Kurdish peoples in fighting Islamic State terrorists, Turkey is doing everything it can to destroy them.

So bitter have relations deteriorated between the Obama regime and Turkey over America’s support for the Kurdish peoples, this report notes, Turkish officials even openly warned the American’s again yesterday that they won't even tolerate the inclusion of Kurdish groups at the upcoming peace talks aimed at ending the war in Syria—with Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu bluntly telling the US: “We will never accept that YPG is being seen as a legitimate power on the opposition side. We will never allow this to happen because it is a direct threat to Turkey.”

Upon the Security Councils reviewing the MoD information relating to Turkey’s downing of these MARSOC helicopters, and its threat to further destabilize the Levant War Zone, this report concludes, it issued a warning a few hours ago stating that the activities by foreign Special Forces are now one of the main threats to Russia’s security.
