‘West, Turkey oil partners of ISIL’

A political analyst says the West and Turkey are business partners of the Takfiri ISIL terrorists as they are in cahoots with the militants in their oil theft from Iraq and Syria, Press TV reports.

In an interview with Press TV on Saturday, Gordon Duff said the ISIL militants are taking away large quantities of Iraqi and Syrian oil with the help of NATO and Turkey.

“The oil that is being taken is a hundred times more than anyone is speaking up. And the only way this oil can be stolen is by being loaded into the Turkish- and Israeli-owned Baku-Ceyhan pipeline… and this is managed by NATO and this is managed by the Turkish navy and this is providing the funding right now,” he said.

He said that the ISIL is becoming “self-funding”, adding that the militants “are beginning to not just pay off for themselves, but they are beginning to make profits for their partners as well.”

Duff said that the Israeli regime is also an oil partner of the ISIL terrorist group.

Earlier this month, EU Ambassador to Iraq Jana Hybas-kova revealed that some EU member states have purchased oil from ISIL militants despite their rhetoric against the group.

She refused to disclose any names but reports suggest that Turkey has been buying and transporting oil for the group.
ISIL reportedly controls eleven oil fields in northern Iraq as well as Syria’s Raqqa province.

The ISIL terrorists control large areas of Syria’s east and north. The ISIL sent its Takfiri militants into Iraq in June, seizing large parts of land straddling the border between Syria and Iraq.
