In this context, the researcher and specialist on Islamic movements and international terrorism, Munir Adib, said: "Turkey protects and provides protection to groups of violence and extremism through the areas it controls."

Turkey has major role in supporting Daesh /ISIS

He added: "In view of the protection provided by Ankara to these extremist organizations, there is international criticism of them and of their role in supporting them, these operations may confirm Turkey's close role with these organizations, especially since these areas are under its control. "

Turkey claims to be fighting ISIS/ Daesh mercenaries and is striving hard to convince the world of this, but the facts all show Turkey's close support for ISIS as well as their protection within the areas it occupies and the murder of the ISIS leader are clear evidence of this support and protection.

On August 7^th, 2014, the then President of the United States, Barack Obama, launched the war on ISIS in Iraq by carrying out raids, and on September 10^th, he directed raids in Syria to form a coalition of more than 20 countries.

On December 9^th, 2017, Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi officially declared the end of the war against ISIS, after three years of fighting, and the mercenaries fled the country.

On March 23^rd, 2019, the Syrian Democratic Forces, SDF declared the defeat of ISIS after the liberation of al-Baguz in eastern Syria.

Despite this, the Syrian Democratic Forces, the Iraqi army and the International Coalition have all confirmed that ISIS remains a threat to the world.

With the end of the geographic control of ISIS, its leaders have emerged in other Syrian areas occupied by Turkey, indicating the risk of ISIS activity once again or the formation of a similar group but under another name.

In this context, Adib reveals: "Turkey is trying to show the world that we have succeeded in killing these organizations in areas that may be under control, but perhaps the closest to reality is that they offer them great protection and that this protection is mainly because these areas are under Ankara's influence and control."

He continued: "Turkey not only supports violent and extremist groups, but also accuses its political opponents of being the backers of such organizations, especially since Turkey's opponents are constantly shaming its policies and supporting its political Islamic project and its violent and extremist organizations. Turkey, instead of defending itself in the face of these accusations, accuses its opponents of supporting these organizations, a policy Turkey has probably been familiar with since Erdogan came to power.

Confronting States that support terrorism before confronting terrorism

On what is needed from international forces and the international community to confront these Turkish policies, the scholar and specialist on Islamic movements and international terrorism Munir Adib said: "The international community has a great role to play in confronting these organizations. This great role must be strengthened by confronting States that support groups of violence and extremism.

He went on to say: "Therefore, if the international community is really serious about confronting organizations of violence and extremism, it is imperative to confront the States supporting it, and one of the most important States supporting these organizations is Turkey."
