An American member of ISIS has been stuck in no man’s land between the Turkish and Greek border for a second day after Turkey released the jihadist to Greece, the Middle East Eye revealed in an article.
According to the web page, a Turkish government official speaking on the condition of anonymity stated that the Turkish state has no intention of taking the ISIS member back.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said in televised remarks on Tuesday that Turkey does not care whether or not ISIS members get trapped in buffer zones. “We will continue to send them,” he said.
Erdogan also called on the European Union to revise their stance towards Turkey, in response to the union’s draft plans to sanction Ankara over its drillings in the eastern Mediterranean.
“We at the moment hold so many Daesh [ISIS] members in prison and at the same time control them in Syria. [Turkish gates] will open and these members will be sent to you. Then you can take care of your own problem,” he said.
