Turkey is a safe haven for ISIS "terrorists".

He explained, "We know that the training centers of ISIS mercenaries were within the areas occupied by the Turkish occupation, which facilitated their arrival from all countries, through its airports and borders, and their entry into NE, Syria and all parts of Syria."

In his turn, the co-chair of the Lawyers’ Union in Raqqa, Khaled al-Hassan, said, "ISIS mercenaries took advantage of the preoccupation of the Syrian Democratic Forces in confronting the Turkish attacks on NE, Syria, to launch their attacks on several areas there, the first of which was the attack on al-Sina'a Prison in the Ghweran neighborhood of the city of Hasakah, which includes thousands of ISIS mercenary detainees, under the guidance of the Turkish occupation state.

During his speech, Al-Hassan referred to the consequences of the tripartite meeting that included the Defense Ministers of the Turkish occupation state, the Government of Damascus and Russia, and said, "If an agreement is reached between these countries, the region will turn into a conflict zone, and this will contribute to the revival of ISIS again in the region."

And in context; The head of the organization office of the Future Syria Party in the western countryside of Deir ez-Zor, Alaa al-Saeed, said, "Everyone knows that the biggest supporter of ISIS is the Turkish occupation state, which contributed to its entry into the Syrian lands previously, and is supporting it at the present time, to implement its colonial plans in NE, Syria."
