Turkish PM admits arms shipment says ’aid’ was for Turkmens; Syrian-Turkmen Assembly Vice Chairman denies 'Aid' claim.(TZ).
In what appears to be an acknowledgment of an arms shipment to Syria by Turkey's intelligence organization's trucks, Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu has said the “aid” carried by those trucks was intended for Turkmens in the war-torn country.
“Yes, I am saying this without any hesitation. That aid was going to the Turkmens. There will be a war next door and we will watch our Turkmen, Arab and Kurdish brothers being massacred. Really?” Davutoğlu asked during a rally in Ankara on Saturday.
Commenting on Davutoğlu's statement on Twitter on Saturday, Dündar said the prime minister's statements were a confession. “Davutoğlu admitted the arms shipment. He said they were intended for Turkmens. The Turkmens also have something to say. For tomorrow,” Dündar tweeted, signaling that the Cumhuriyet daily will report on comments from Turkmens on Sunday.
Flashback January 2014:
Syrian-Turkmen Assembly Vice Chairman Hussein al-Abdullah said on Saturday that no such trucks have come from Turkey and the Turkmen do not use the route on which the truck in question was stopped in Hatay. “We have never received aid or weapons from Turkey,” Abdullah stated.
Vice Chairman Abdurrahman Mustafa also said that he has no information about an aid truck from Turkey and that all he knows about it he read in newspapers. Hmmmm......nasty thing that internet, keeps track of everything said. Read the full story here.
