Sputnik: Captured Daesh Fighter Reveals Details of Turkey’s Ties With Terror Group

Mahmut Ghazi Tatar, a captured member of the Daesh terrorist organization, spoke to Sputnik Turkey, revealing details about being in the ranks of Daesh and Turkey’s ties with the terror group.

A Sputnik Türkiye correspondent managed to record an interview with a member of Daesh (Islamic State) who was captured by Kurdish troops in Syria. The 24-year-old Mahmut Ghazi Tatar who joined Daesh from the Turkish city of Adıyaman.

Mahmut Ghazi joined Daesh after being influenced by a friend who had joined the group earlier. He, together with 27 other Turks, was helped to cross the border into Syria where he joined the ranks of the militants.

WNU Editor: Zero Hedge has more on this story .... Confessions Of An ISIS Soldier: "The Training Took Place In Turkey". I do not know if this story is true .... but I do know that there is a brisk trade in oil products between Turkey and Islamic State controlled territories in Iraq and Syria, and if they are permitting this to flourish, one can only wonder what else is being permitted.

  1. Turkey is an iffy partner for NATO. An embarrassment but apparently a necessary evil. I feel sad for the majority of people in Turkey who wish to fully join the modern and free secular world. They almost grabbed the ring. Maybe the European, North American and Russian influences will moderate their leader, but that seems unlikely. He prefers Daesh on his salad.
