Erdogan government allowed Turkish soldiers to be killed by ISIS despite being able to rescue them - Nordic Monitor
nordicmonitor.com/2024/04/erdogan-government-left-turkish-soldiers-burned-alive-by-isis-despite-being-able-to-rescue-them/
Quick Glance: Erdogan Government Negligence in Turkish Soldiers' Deaths by ISIS
- The Turkish government allegedly failed to rescue two soldiers before their killing by the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) in 2016. Their bodies were reportedly buried secretly in a region of Syria controlled by the Turkish intelligence without being brought back to Turkey or informing the families.
- Veteran journalist Adem Yavuz Arslan claimed that Turkish intelligence officials negotiating with ISIS argued that the survival of two more soldiers was not a top priority due to existing casualties. After a video documenting the soldiers' deaths led to public outcry, the government restricted internet access.
- The Turkish General Staff neither confirmed nor denied the authenticity of the video but visited one soldier's family to declare him a 'martyr.' Further controversies arose from the arrest of the ISIS judge in Turkey responsible for the soldiers' deaths and the involvement of government officials in the negotiations with ISIS.
- Despite evidence linking the Erdogan government to armed jihadist groups, the judge was temporarily released and later sentenced to life imprisonment. This case highlighted the government's controversial dealings with extremist elements and the consequences of negligence in protecting Turkish soldiers.

Quick Glance: The remarkable evolution of ISIS-K's leader into a formidable group
- Sanaullah Ghafari, in his role as the leader of the Afghan branch of Islamic State, played a significant role in the transformation into an extremely menacing branch of the global Islamist network, capable of conducting operations far from their bases in the border regions of Afghanistan.
- The Islamic State claimed responsibility for the massacre at a concert hall near Moscow that resulted in the deaths of at least 137 people. U.S. officials indicated that the Afghan branch, Islamic State Khorasan (ISIS-K), was responsible.
- Ghafari has enhanced the group's strength through his firm ideology and notable attacks. He has made repeated attempts to target Russia in response to its involvement in the Syrian civil war, which contributed to defeating ISIS' regional operations.
- By using high-profile attacks as a tool for recruitment, the group has focused on ethnic Tajiks and Uzbeks in Central Asia. ISIS-K is planning to escalate its foreign operations, including attacks against the United States.
