Russia Provides Evidence of Turkey's Involvement in Illegal Trade with IS

Russian Deputy Defense Minister Anatoly Antonov declared that Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his family members are directly involved in illegal oil deliveries from Daesh oil fields in Syria, Sputnik News reports

"Revenues from the sale of oil are one of the most important sources of activity by terrorists in Syria. They earn around $2 billion annually, spending these funds on hiring militants from around the world and equipping them with weapons, equipment, and arms," Russian Deputy Defense Minister Anatoly Antonov said during a briefing in Moscow.
"The main consumer of this oil stolen from the legal owners in Syria and Iraq is Turkey. According to available information, this illegal business includes the upper political leadership of the country, President Erdogan and his family," Antonov added.
The ministry provided photographs of columns of oil fuel tankers on the Turkish-Syrian border. According to Russia's General Staff, fuel tankers with oil freely cross the border between Turkey and Iraq.
