 After the Turkish occupation state occupied Syrian lands, many documents and reports appeared that prove its support for mercenary groups from ISIS and others, not to mention the training of mercenaries, using them in their attacks against north and east Syria and other areas, in clear evidence that these areas have become a safe place for mercenary groups.

In this regard, journalist and researcher specialized in the affairs of "terrorist" groups, Lamar Arkandi told our agency: "Since it set foot in Syrian territory, Turkey has turned the areas it occupied into camps for training and reproducing more militants, whether from ISIS mercenaries, "Al-Nusra" or  "Huras al-Din" and other jihadist groups listed as "terrorists".

 Lamar explained, "In the city of Afrin, and before its occupation by the Turkish state, there were prisons for ISIS, one of which housed about 3000 ISIS mercenaries, including leaders. Turkey and its mercenaries opened the doors of those prisons after they occupied the area."

 Lamar explained that ISIS mercenaries who were smuggled by the Turkish occupation state from prison were trained and prepared to occupy the city of Serêkaniyê and Girê Spi.  They are still in line with ISIS law and its crimes in those areas.”

"We are all familiar with the ideology and extremism that is spreading in both Serêkaniyê and Girê Spî, where clashes erupt between mercenary groups, over control of crossings and smuggling networks and the seizure of people's homes. This is evidence that these areas have turned into hotbeds of terrorism," Lamar said.

 Lamar noted that during the occupation of al-Tabqa, al-Shaddadi, al-Raqqa and Girê Spi / Tal Abyad, ISIS mercenaries had appointed leaders and princes from the people of the region, and said: "For example, the prince of Tal Abyad was named Faisal Azraq who participated in the execution of the Jordanian pilot, Moaz al-Kasasbeh.  Before the liberation of the area by the People's Protection Units, ISIS' "Amaq" agency announced his death during an air raid of the Global Coalition, and several days before the occupation of Ras al-Ain and Tal Abyad, ISIS announced the formation of a battalion in the name of "Al-Qadisiyah", threatening the People's Protection Units with it.  After that, it became clear that Faisal is still alive and is the leader of this battalion that is present today in the town of Suluk.

 "ISIS law is now being implemented in these areas, so it is only natural that they turn into hotbeds of terrorism," Lamar confirmed.

 'International silence is a kind of protection for this organization from collapse'

 Lamar touched on the Turkish escalation against north and east Syria, and said: "The reason for launching its attacks on north, east and Syria is to obtain the region's resources."

 Lamar explained the international silence about the crimes committed by the Turkish occupation state and its relationship with ISIS mercenaries by saying: "The international silence is due to reasons including the fact that ISIS is an economic project. This project that was planned and implemented by a number of countries that reaped imaginary money from it. Today  International silence is a kind of protection for this organization from collapse, just as some Western countries are evading settling the ISIS file and recovering their nationals, and some of its reasons are related to the financial aspect, so their recovery, trial and rehabilitation requires very high costs.
