The head of the presidential administration Ivanov is sure that relations with Turkey will never be the same

The head of the Russian Presidential Administration, Sergei Ivanov, believes that relations with Turkey, which, according to him, actually finances the Islamic State ( Daish ) terrorist group, will no longer be the same.

“If any country is connected with terrorists, especially if it finances them, covers them on its territory, supplies them weapons,” it performs betrayal, acts extremely unreasonably and recklessly. And in this context, Putin mentioned Turkey, ”Ivanov said in an interview with Russia Today .

“We have good relations with the Turkish people. We love him. However, the actual policy of the Turkish leadership proves (and yesterday’s press braeping in the Russian Ministry of Defense, this, of course, confirms) that Turkey, without a doubt, buys oil, which is controlled by the“ Islamic state ”, or Daish and sells around the world. It is impossible to deny,” he emphasized. Ivanov added: "If we are quite sincere in our desire to break the financial support of terrorists in Syria and Turkey - for starters - as well as Libya, we will be able to overcome terrorism quickly and successfully."

On the eve of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, the authorities of Turkey of large -scale procurement of oil from IG accused . The Deputy Minister of Defense of Russia Anatoly Antonov indicated that the income from the sale of oil is one of the most important sources of terrorist activities in Syria, and called for depriving them of income. “Terrorism without money is a beast without teeth,” Antonov said, emphasizing that now militants earn about $ 2 billion annually and purchases Ankara fuel. "Oil in a huge amount, on an industrial scale, on living oil pipelines from thousands of fuel trucks enters the territory of Turkey," he said.

According to the Russian ministry, the highest political leadership of the country, including President Erdogan and his family, are involved in the criminal business. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan denied these accusations. "Be shaged! Information about where Türkiye buys oil and gas is known. Those who insist that we buy oil from Islamists are required to give evidence of such statements," he said. Erdogan also promised to resign if the participation of Turkey in the procurement of oil from terrorists will be proven.

In addition, he himself accused Russia of IS's relations on the basis of oil trade. Erdogan mentioned the name of one of the oil buyers, supposedly Syrian businessman George Haswani, "who has a Russian passport." According to Erdogan, Khaswani has become the largest entrepreneur who profits from this business.
