A high-ranking Iraqi military
commander has accused Turkey of providing members of the Takfiri Daesh
terrorist group, who are wreaking havoc in neighboring Iraq, with
shelter.
Spokesman for Badr Organization Karim al-Nouri
said on Thursday, “Turks are clearly helping Daesh,” adding that the
process is “obvious” and “does not require additional evidence.”
“The
problem of Daesh has not appeared out of nothing. It did not arise from
the ground or fell from the sky. Someone lets them (Daesh militants)
travel through different countries. They use the airports, hospitals.
Where are the leaders of Daesh treated? They are treated in the
hospitals of Turkey,” Nouri said.
He added that Deash extremists from Uzbekistan, Chechnya and other regions sneak into Iraq and Syria via Turkey.
“Turkey
recruits and sends them to Iraq and Syria. It is clear as daylight and
needs no proof. It is always hard to explain the obvious things.
"We
have a lot of documents that prove that the greatest logistical support
and supply routes are provided by Turks. The militants even return to
their countries through Turkey,” Nouri said.

senior Iraqi military figure said Daesh militants, who murdered between
560 and 770 captured Iraqi soldiers at Camp Speicher near the oil-rich
northern city of Tikrit back in June, went to Turkey after the massacre.
“I
have documents proving the connection of one person to the events in
the Speicher. He was arrested because he participated in events in the
Speicher. After the Speicher carnage, he went to Turkey and then came
back again. This problem is obvious. It is known to everyone and does
not require additional evidence,” Nouri said.
This is not the
first time Ankara is being implicated in support for Daesh, whose
militants have been committing vicious crimes against all ethnic and
religious communities, including Shias, Sunnis, Kurds, Christians and
others, in Iraq and Syria.
Apart from Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and
Qatar also stand accused of contributing to the violence that has
gripped the neighboring Arab states for the past two years.
