Syrian mercenaries ... Turkey's fuel in its expansionist wars

Turkey is fueling crises in several regions of the world, using Syrian mercenaries and other nationalities in it to achieve its expansion dreams and use them as pressure cards at the negotiating table.

The beginning of mercenaries' recruitment

Turkey took advantage of the revolutions of the Peoples' Spring that occurred in the region in 2010 to achieve its old ambitions to revive the defunct Ottoman Empire, so it used the Muslim Brotherhood groups whose leaders are in Qatar and Turkey to exploit those revolutions and reach the helm of government in the Arab countries, and it succeeded in the beginning after it toppled the Tunisian and Egyptian regime.

When the Syrian revolution began, Turkey opened its airports to the influx of terrorists from various parts of the world into this country, supplied them with ammunition and weapons, and opened its hospitals to treat their wounds, especially the armed groups affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood of various names; Jabhet al-Nusra and ISIS.

But the Russian intervention in Syria in September 2015 overthrew Erdogan's plans to control Syria. Turkey and Russia began making bargains, as Russia allowed Turkey to occupy some Syrian areas, such as Jarablus, al-Bab, Azaz and Afrin, in exchange for withdrawing mercenaries from al-Ghouta, Damascus, the countryside of Damascus, Homs and Hama.

Indeed, the mercenaries who refused to settle with the government of Damascus and Russia were transferred to Idlib, and thus Erdogan began to form an army of mercenaries that he used in the beginning to fight the Kurdish people in Syria, and the democratic experience they lead with their Arab, Syriac, Armenian and Turkmen brothers in north and east Syria. Turkey even used the Syrian mercenaries as fuel for its wars and extended interventions in the region.

Libya

In Libya, the Turkish President allied with the National Accord Government to confront the National Army led by Field Marshal Khalifa Haftar, and the Turkish President planned to send Syrian mercenaries to Libya to seize its wealth, and put pressure on Egypt regarding the file of the Muslim Brotherhood, which received a major blow after the arrival of Abdel Fattah al-Sisi to Helm of government.

Turkey opened its first accession centers in September 2019 in Afrin, Azaz, and the rest of the areas it occupies in Syria, under the leadership of Sultan Morad's mercenaries, and tempted its mercenaries with money, offering everyone who joins the Libyan civil war $ 2,000 per month.

As a result, Turkey sent about 18,000 mercenaries, including 350 under the age of eighteen, to Libya to participate in the fighting alongside the Government of National Accord against the Libyan National Army, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.

According to the Syrian Observatory, 496 mercenaries sent by Turkey were killed during the clashes that took place in that region.

In addition, Turkey has escalated its military movements in Libya, as monitoring sites revealed the acceleration of the movement of military cargo flights to western Libya, while the Turkish Ministry of Defense published more than once, during the past week, photos of the training of members of the Libyan National Accord forces loyal to Ankara inside camps in Turkey, as analysts believe that Turkey has new plans in those areas related to military events and developments.

Mercenaries in Karabakh

During the recent conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan over Karabakh region and the battles that began on September 27 of this year, Turkey entered itself into the conflict, and Turkish Defense Minister Hulusi Akar announced on November 11 that his country would continue to stand by Azerbaijan against Armenia.

As in Libya, Turkey found geostrategic interests in the Caucasus and Central Asia from the oil-rich Azerbaijan, its main ally in the region, a friendship reinforced by the common hostility of Armenia, as Ottoman Turkey exterminated about a million and a half million Armenians during the First World War.

At the beginning of this conflict, Turkey opened again its centers to register the names of mercenaries, especially the mercenaries of the Turkmen factions to put them in Azerbaijan to fight the Armenians.

Turkey, during its campaign on Armenia, focused on Turkmen mercenaries in order to evade any international investigation that might take place in the future, as Turkmen mercenaries possess Turkish citizenship which sometimes shows them as its republican army.

The total number of Syrian mercenaries who participated in the Karabakh battles against Armenia reached more than 2,580 mercenaries, of whom less than 350 returned in advance, and gave up their financial dues that Ankara had promised them, according to a statistic conducted by the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.

According to the Observatory, 300 Syrian mercenaries were killed during the battles in Karabakh, and the bodies of 250 of them have not yet returned.

Mercenaries to Kashmir too

There is talk now about Turkey starting preparations to send Syrian mercenaries to the disputed territory of Kashmir in northwestern India, Pakistan and China in Central Asia.

Special sources revealed to our agency that the Turkish intelligence had instructed the mercenaries of al-Sultan Suleiman Shah (al-Amshat) to prepare a list of 100 mercenaries to undergo a training course in the Turkish city of Mersin in preparation for sending them to Kashmir to fight against India.

The Turkish intelligence allocated an amount of 3,000 dollars as a monthly salary for each mercenary in exchange for fighting in Kashmir, but the mercenaries demanded to receive their salaries directly, for fear of being seized by the Turkish intelligence services, as happened with the mercenaries who were forced to fight in Libya and Karabakh, according to what the same sources said.

Sending mercenaries to Amed

Recently, there were several reports of new plans by Erdogan against the Kurds in Bakur Kurdistan and Turkey, as reports said that Erdogan intends to send mercenaries from the Turkestan Islamic Party to the city of Amed in Bakur Kurdistan.

This mercenary group is considered one of the militant groups whose members are the Chinese Uyghurs, Chechens, Uzbeks, Tajiks and others.

The number of members of this mercenary group is estimated at about 7,000 armed men, as the mercenaries, accompanied by their families flocked to Syria in 2013, and initially settled in the mountains of the coast and the western countryside of Idlib, within the border areas with Turkey, and they are spread in the countryside of Lattakia.

According to what Sky News reported, the Turkish occupation initially intends to introduce a thousand mercenaries from Uyghurs with their families to Bakur Kurdistan as a first batch, followed by new numbers in the coming days, as Turkey is working to transfer 5,000 mercenaries to Amed in Bakur Kurdistan.

The President of the Turkish regime, Erdogan, had previously persuaded the American side to remove the so-called "Turkistan Islamic Party" from the terrorist lists. Indeed, the U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announced the removal of the party's name from the lists of international terrorism at the beginning of last November.

Turkey uses mercenaries to eliminate its political opponents

Commenting on this, Munir Adib, a researcher on extremist movements and international terrorism says: "Turkey continues to use mercenaries in its wars outside the Turkish territories to eliminate its political opponents, and among its most important opponents is the Kurds, it wants to eliminate the Kurdish identity and nation, so to speak," referring to Turkey's use of mercenaries in Libya and the disputed territory of Artsakh / Karabakh.

Munir Adib added: "Turkey used mercenaries in its approach to ethnic cleansing in the region of north and east Syria, in which the Kurds are present, and in order to eradicate their identity."

Turkey does not refrain from dealing with these terrorist organizations in order to eliminate the Kurds

The researcher on terrorism said that there is a difference between Turkish behavior and the behavior of global Zionism, which is based on the elimination of the opposite sex, and said: "Turkey invokes in its battles those mercenaries who are descended from extremist and more extreme religious groups and organizations, such as ISIS, Al Qaeda and Jabhet al-Nusra, and does not refrain from dealing with these organizations in order to eliminate the Kurdish people."

Adib considered that what the Kurds endure in terms of "severe suffering" is not in any way less than what the Palestinian Arab people suffer, who are still "suffering under the yoke of Zionist colonialism," and he believes that "this is a realistic and logical approach."

Hitler's method of exterminating oppressed peoples

Regarding what was recently reported by media outlets about Turkey sending mercenaries from the Turkestan Islamic Party to the city of Amed in Bakur Kurdistan, Adib said: "Turkey wants to eliminate the Kurdish identity, I think that such a method of treatment is no different from Hitler's way of dealing previously with the persecuted peoples, and the method of some who wanted to eliminate slavery and slaves, this method is the logic of the corrupt, and this is the real goal of sending mercenaries of the Turkestan Party in the horizon of Turkish President Erdogan," calling for "the Kurdish people to be annihilated in every sense of the word."

Erdogan's mercenaries pose a threat to global national security

Adib stressed that these mercenaries pose a threat to global and human national security, "just like cancer cells that spread in the body and destroy it. These extremists have decimated the Middle East region, and this is what Erdogan will do in Amed to destroy and exterminate the Kurdish people."

Munir Adib, a researcher on extremist movements and international terrorism affirmed at the end of his speech that "everything Erdogan does will not produce results because the Kurds have feelings of freedom, truth and justice, no right will be lost behind demands, and all these attempts will be foiled."
