Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan says Ankara has proof that Russia was involved in the illegal oil trade with the Islamic State (IS) extremist group in Syria.
"We have the proof in our hands. We will reveal it to the world," Erdogan said in a televised address on December 3 in Ankara. He did not elaborate.
Erdogan described as "immoral" Russian allegations made a day earlier that Erdogan's family was importing oil from IS militants.
The Russian Defense Ministry on December 2 accused Erdogan and his family of involvement in the illegal oil trade with IS after Ankara's downing of one of Moscow's warplanes last week. The deadly incident plunged relations between the two countries to a crisis level.
Erdogan repeated his previous vow to resign if the allegations made by Moscow were proved to be true.

Chevènement: les flux pétroliers de l'EI s'écoulent à travers la frontière turque...
ReplyDeleteLa Turquie porte une certaine responsabilité dans le développement du groupe djihadiste Etat islamique, estime un ancien ministre français, se ralliant ainsi aux conclusions du ministère russe de la Défense sur l'implication d'Ankara dans le trafic pétrolier de l'EI.
Il est incontestable que les flux pétroliers dont dispose l'Etat islamique (EI, Daech) ne peuvent s'écouler qu'à travers la frontière turque, a constaté l'ancien ministre français de la Défense et de l'Intérieur, président de la Fondation Res Publica, Jean-Pierre Chevènement.
"La Turquie a une longue frontière avec la Syrie, et on sait qu'elle n'a pas fait tout ce qu'il fallait pour endiguer Daech (…) C'est méconnaître la nature du conflit syrien que de penser qu'un certain nombre de pays, dont la Turquie, n'y sont pour rien", a déclaré M.Chevènement dans une interview à RFI.
