Turkey is bombing the Kurds while helping ISIS terrorists to break free from the Syrian jails

Turkish authorities at the beginning of its operation tried to delude people by saying that it is fighting ISIS, but actually they are training ISIS members and sending them to Afrin.

Kurds have begged Western nations including the UK to ease pressure on them by accepting the return of jihadis who fled to join ISIS and are now in jail.

An estimated 15,000 foreigners with links to ISIS are being held by the Kurdish People’s Protection Units.

Turkish army is helping ISIS terrorists to break free from prisons and holding centers. This action is based on bombing these places intentionally, in order for Islamic State members to be able to escape from captivity.

Also Turkey is recruiting and retraining ISIS terrorists to lead its invasion of the Kurdish enclave of Afrin in northern Syria, according to an ex-Isis source.

“Most of those who are fighting in Afrin against the YPG [People’s Protection Units] are ISIS terrorists, though Turkey has trained them to change their assault tactics,” said Faraj, a former ISIS fighter from north-east Syria who remains in close touch with the jihadi movement.

ISIS terrorists are joining the FSA and Turkish-army invasion force because they are put under pressure by the Turkish authorities. From the point of view of Turkey, the recruitment of former Isis combatants means that it can draw on a large pool of professional and experienced soldiers.

Another advantage is that they are not Turks, so if they suffer serious casualties this will do no damage to the Turkish government.

Turkey is evidently aware that using ISIS fighters as the spearhead for the assault on Afrin, even if they relabelled as FSA, is likely to attract international criticism.

Turkish commanders have discouraged ISIS from using their traditional tactics of extensive use of suicide bombers and car bombs at Afrin because this would make the ISIS-Turkish cooperation too blatant.
