Dette er bl.a. basert på forskning utført av forskere i Tyrkia, USA og Europa. Jeg beklager at noe er på engelsk og at man må søke på pdf filer, men noen av disse rapportene er ikke publiserte i MSM. Jeg må også legge til at jeg ikke har lest alt, det er omfattende forskning som er lagt ned og jeg har ikke tid til å lese absolutt alle disse rapportene, men konklusjonen er klar: Det er og har vært oljehandel mellom Tyrkia og IS, og det er komplett umulig at den tyrkiske stat ikke har vært involvert i dette. De har bl.a. benyttet tyrkiske havner for videre eksport, dette hadde ikke latt seg gjøre uten godkjennelse fra staten.
Å kalle dette for smugling blir også feil, man fremkaller da et uskyldig bilde av noen få lysskye smuglere. Det er ikke det dette dreier seg om! Man kan ikke sammenligne noen som smugler ett par jerrykanner på et esel med hundrevis av tankbiler som krysser grensen flere ganger i uken, i påsyn av tyrkiske grensevakter/soldater.

«Once pumped to the surface, it is lightly refined either onsite in unelaborate facilities, or transported straightaway to Turkey on truck-lorries…The supply chain comprises the following localities: Sanliura, Urfa, Hakkari, Siirt, Batman, Osmaniya, Gaziantep, Sirnak, Adana, Kahramarmaras, Adiyaman and Mardin.
The string of trading hubs ends up in Adana, home to the major tanker shipping port of Ceyhan. In the next section 3 of the present study, the authors will try to answer the question whether a part of ISIS smuggled crude oil is being fed into the global oil markets, transported in tankers leaving the port of Ceyhan».
(De tar så opp transporten fra tyrkisk havn og ut, er en lang forklaring på dette i rapporten).

2. «Bilal Erdogan owns several maritime companies. He has allegedly signed contracts with European operating companies to carry Iraqi stolen oil to different Asian countries. The Turkish government buys Iraqi plundered oil which is being produced from the Iraqi seized oil wells. Bilal Erdogan’s maritime companies own special wharfs in Beirut and Ceyhan ports that are transporting ISIS’ smuggled crude oil in Japan-bound oil tankers.
Gürsel Tekin vice-president of the Turkish Republican Peoples’ Party, CHP, declared in a recent Turkish media interview, “President Erdogan claims that according to international transportation conventions there is no legal infraction concerning Bilal’s illicit activities and his son is doing an ordinary business with the registered Japanese companies, but in fact Bilal Erdogan is up to his neck in complicity with terrorism, but as long as his father holds office he will be immune from any judicial prosecution.” Tekin adds that Bilal’s maritime company doing the oil trades for ISIS, BMZ Ltd, is “a family business and president Erdogan’s close relatives hold shares in BMZ and they misused public funds and took illicit loans from Turkish banks.”
In addition to son Bilal’s illegal and lucrative oil trading for ISIS, Sümeyye Erdogan, the daughter of the Turkish President apparently runs a secret hospital camp inside Turkey just over the Syrian border where Turkish army trucks daily being in scores of wounded ISIS Jihadists to be patched up and sent back to wage the bloody Jihad in Syria».

4. «Oil sales are a key reason they have been able to maintain their rule over their self-declared «caliphate» stretching across large parts of Syria and Iraq…Washington has been talking to regional governments, including Turkey, about its concerns over the importing of energy infrastructure into IS-run territory in Syria, including equipment for extraction, refinement, transport and energy production, according to a senior U.S. official with firsthand knowledge of the IS oil sector».
5. «When oil prices were high, smugglers loaded larger jerry cans (50-60 litres) of oil into metal tubs or small row boats and, using ropes attached to each river bank, pulled their cargo across the river and into Turkey…Some Syrian and Turkish border towns have co-operated by burying small rubber tubes under the border, such as at Besaslan…A popular crossing point for smugglers carrying jerry cans of fuel on their backs has been from Kharbet al-Jawz in rebel-held Syria to Guvecci in Turkey».

«Selling IS oil is technically difficult because the group has no traditional export facilities or access to the open market. As a result, the group must ship its oil by truck to the Turkish border where oil brokers and traders buy the oil and make cash payments, or payments in kind of petroleum products. Because the Syrian government considers IS oil to be stolen contraband and
because international sanctions limit the markets the oil can legally enter, IS oil trades at a steeply discounted price. Reliable, documented oil quantity and price data for IS transactions are
unavailable due to their illegal nature. It has been reported that IS oil might have been selling for as little as $18 per barrel at the Turkish border, when Brent, a world price reference crude oil was
selling for about $107 per barrel».

7. «The oil-smuggling operation run by Abu Sayyaf has been cut drastically, although tankers carrying crude drawn from makeshift refineries still make it to the border. One Isis member says the organisation remains a long way from establishing a self-sustaining economy across the area of Syria and Iraq it controls. “They need the Turks. I know of a lot of cooperation and it scares me,” he said. “I don’t see how Turkey can attack the organisation too hard. There are shared interests.”
8. Iran sier i des.-15 at de har bevis for oljehandel og transport. De sier også at om det stemmer at tyrkiske myndigheter ikke har denne informasjonen, så er de villige til å gi de dette.

9. «German deputy speaker: NATO must stop Turkey support for ISIS ..“Turkey has also allowed weapons to be transported into Syria through its borders. Also that the ISIS has been able to sell its oil via Turkey is extraordinary.”
10. «The southern corridor of Turkey has thus become a gateway for oil products».
11. CHP MP gikk ut med informasjon om at Erdogans svigersønn og svigerbror var involverte i oljehandelen med IS, det hele endte opp med at han ble tiltalt for å ha fornærmet presidenten…snakker vi betent tema eller?
12. «The Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS) has been selling smuggled Syrian oil in Turkey worth $800 million, according to Ali Ediboglu, a lawmaker for the border province of Hatay from the main opposition Republican People’s Party (CHP)…They have laid pipes from villages near the Turkish border at Hatay. Similar pipes exist also at [the Turkish border regions of] Kilis, Urfa and Gaziantep. They transfer the oil to Turkey and parlay it into cash. They take the oil from the refineries at zero cost. Using primitive means, they refine the oil in areas close to the Turkish border and then sell it via Turkey…“Fighters from Europe, Russia, Asian countries and Chechnya are going in large numbers both to Syria and Iraq, crossing from Turkish territory. There is information that at least 1,000 Turkish nationals are helping those foreign fighters sneak into Syria and Iraq to join ISIS. The National Intelligence Organization (MIT) is allegedly involved. None of this can be happening without MIT’s knowledge.”…araf carried a report headlined “Smugglers riding on a billion dollars.” It reported that Turkish soldiers clashed with and repelled hundreds of horse riders and thousands of foot smugglers at the Syrian border on a daily basis. It pointed out that the biggest fight between the [Syrian Kurdish] People’s Protection Units (YPG) and the al-Qaeda-linked Jabhat al-Nusra in Rojava [northern Syria] was over the revenues from the sale of the region’s petroleum products to Turkey».
13. » The Obama administration is struggling to cut off the millions of dollars in oil revenue that has made the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria one of the wealthiest terror groups in history, but so far has been unable to persuade Turkey, the NATO ally where much of the oil is traded on the black market, to crack down on an extensive sales network…“Turkey in many ways is a wild card in this coalition equation,” said Juan Zarate, a senior adviser at the Center for Strategic and International Studies and author of “Treasury’s War: The Unleashing of a New Era of Financial Warfare.” “..You have a major NATO ally, and it is not clear they are willing and able to cut off flows of funds, fighters and support to ISIS.”…“They’ve been turning a blind eye to it, because they benefit from the lower price of smuggled black-market oil,” Mr. Phillips said, “and I’m sure there are substantial numbers of Turks that are also profiting from this, maybe even government officials.”.
14. «President Erdogan is running a “family business” in smuggling Isis oil has thrown the spotlight on relatives of the Turkish leader who have been dogged by accusations of nepotism and corruption.
An opposition MP claimed this week to have established “that there is a very high probability” that Berat Albayrak, Turkey’s energy minister and Mr Erdogan’s son-in-law, was linked to the supply of oil by the terrorists».

16. Tar med en norsk link og omtale om en norsk rapport.
«Terror-olje til Nato-alliert. Mens verden samles for å strupe IS’ oljeinntekter, bekrefter en hemmelig norsk rapport at Nato-landet Tyrkia har mottatt store menger olje fra jihadistene…Til tross for at Nato er tungt involvert i kampen mot IS, viser en til nå hemmelig, norsk rapport fra Utenriksdepartementet at Nato-landet Tyrkia mottar olje fra terroristene: Klassekampen har fått tilgang til hemmeligholdte UD-dokumenter som slår fast at det meste av oljen som IS har smuglet ut av Syria og Irak, har havnet i Tyrkia.
Rapporten er lagd av konsulentselskapet Rystad Energy, på oppdrag for Utenriksdepartementet…Den tyrkiske regjeringen benekter påstandene. Nå slår likevel den tyrkiske fortellingen sprekker. Flere internasjonale medier har den siste tida meldt om oljesmugling over fra Syria over grensa til Tyrkia…Mandag forrige uke anklaget også den irakiske statsministeren Haider al-Abadi tyrkiske myndigheter for å tillatte smugling av IS-olje».
Det er også kjent at Bilal Erdogan smuglet $1 billion til Italia i fjor, mest sannsynlig penger han har tjent på å finansiere terror via oljehandelen.
Det er ingen tvil om Tyrkias shady business, de har finansiert terrororganisajoner på mange måter – inkludert oljehandel.
