Meet The Man Who Funds ISIS: Bilal Erdogan, The Son Of Turkey’s President<\/a><\/h3>\n

Russia’s Sergey Lavrov is not one foreign minister known to mince his words. Just earlier today, 24 hours after a Russian plane was brought down by the country whose president\u00a0three years ago said<\/a>\u00a0“a short-term border violation can never be a pretext for an attack”, had this to say: “We have serious doubts this was an unintended incident and believe this is a planned provocation” by Turkey.<\/p>\n

But even that was tame compared to what Lavrov said to his Turkish counterparty Mevlut Cavusoglu earlier today during a phone call between the two (Lavrov who was supposed to travel to Turkey has since canceled such plans).<\/p>\n

As\u00a0Sputnik transcribes<\/a>, according to a press release from Russia\u2019s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Lavrov pointed out that, “by shooting down a Russian plane on a counter-terrorist mission of the Russian Aerospace Force in Syria, and one that did not violate Turkey\u2019s airspace,\u00a0the Turkish government has in effect sided with ISIS.<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

It was in this context when Lavrov added that “Turkey\u2019s actions appear premeditated, planned, and undertaken with a specific objective.<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

More importantly, Lavrov pointed to Turkey\u2019s role in the propping up the terror network through the oil trade. Per the Russian statement:<\/p>\n

\n
“The Russian Minister reminded his counterpart about Turkey\u2019s involvement in the ISIS\u2019 illegal trade in oil, which is transported via the area where the Russian plane was shot down,\u00a0and about the terrorist infrastructure, arms and munitions depots and control centers that are also located there<\/strong>.”<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Others reaffirmed Lavrov’s stance, such as retired French General Dominique Trinquand, who said that “Turkey is either not fighting ISIL at all or very little, and does not interfere with different types of smuggling that takes place on its border, be it oil, phosphate, cotton or people,” he said.<\/p>\n
