Terrorist
group Islamic State earns millions of dollars selling oil on the
black market in Turkey, Iraqi MP and former national security
adviser, Mowaffak al Rubaie told RT. He also revealed that wounded
terrorists are being treated in Turkish hospitals.
“In
the last eight months ISIS has managed to sell ... $800 million
dollars worth of oil on the black market of Turkey. This is Iraqi oil
and Syrian oil, carried by trucks from Iraq, from Syria through the
borders to Turkey and sold ...[at] less than 50 percent of the
international oil price,” Mowaffak al Rubaie said in an
interview with RT.
“Now
this either get consumed inside, the crude is refined on Turkish
territory by the Turkish refineries, and sold in the Turkish market.
Or it goes to Jihan and then in the pipelines from Jihan to the
Mediterranean and sold to the international market.”
“Money
and dollars generated by selling Iraqi and Syrian oil on the Turkish
black market is like the oxygen supply to ISIS and it’s
operation,” he added. “Once you cut the oxygen then ISIS
will suffocate.”
