Iraq’s premier Haider al-Abadi said Monday that most of the oil smuggled by the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) group goes through Turkey, joining a chorus of countries linking it with the militants’ financing. [...] It is the latest in a series of accusations linking Turkey and oil smuggling by ISIS [...] Russia accused Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his family of involvement in the IS oil trade, to which he responded that Russia was in fact involved. [...] Mohsen Rezaie, secretary of Iran’s Expediency Council, said Iranian military advisors on the ground in Iraq and Syria had images of IS oil trucks going to Turkey.The archeologists say that it is collectors financing ISIS, when all the time it has been Turkey (where many archeologists seek excavation permits) which has been one of the main culprits.
