CENTRAL NEWS
In the occupation attacks of the occupying Turkish state against North and East Syria, it has been shared that FSA gangs consisting of ISIS and Al-Nusra remnants, who committed a large number of war crimes and crimes against humanity, are being paid 11 million TL per month.
Previously, Al-Qaeda’s al-Nusra and ISIS gangs had documented that the Turkish state spent millions of dollars to fight against the Kurds of Rojava. It was documented that the Turkish state financed the dirty war by paying 11 million TL to FSA gangs under the name of implicit appropriation expenditures in the occupation attacks against North and East Syria.
ECONOMIC CRISIS
Despite rising unemployment and the budget deficit in Turkey, FSA gangs are being sent millions of dollars from secret funds.
According to data released by the Treasury and Finance Ministry, the Presidency’s spending exceeded 3 billion pounds in the first half of 2019. In the first half of 2019, expenditure was 1 billion 221 million pounds.
The implicit appropriation was launched during a period when the Turkish state intensified the war against Kurds with dubious killings, during the period of Tansu Çiller. At that time, JİTEM was financed from a disguised allowance and dozens of Kurds were brutally massacred every day. Now this allowance is being transferred to the FSA gangs who commit many wars and crimes against humanity.
WAR CRIMES
The name of 77 jihadists who are former member of ISIS, was published as taking place in the ranks of the FSA which changed it’s name to the Syrian National Army (SNA).
It was indicated that the SNA gangs who committed crimes such as massacres of civilians, deportations, shelling of historical places, plundering of property, seizure of property, kidnapping and ransom, harassment and rape would be included in the terror list. Amongst the massacres documented is the Syrian Future Party Secretary-General Hevrîn Xelef and her driver who were brutally killed, and the attacks on Amara Rênas’ corpse.
The SNA are being treated in hospitals in Turkey. Nearly all the logistical support of the gangs is provided for by the AKP government against the Kurds, after reactions to the increase in killed Turkish soldiers. When all of these are brought together, it becomes clear where part of the covered allowance goes.
