Is Turkey’s President Erdogan Involved with ISIS?


Speculation over the last few years has linked Turkey with ISIS – where the country and its President have discreetly provided ISIS with assistance in the form of weaponry, training, finances and so on. Although many have dismissed the evidence, I find new evidence to be irrefutable – Erdogan’s daughter and her involvement with ISIS.


Most recent evidence has found Sumeyye Erdogan, the daughter of Recep Tayyip Erdogan, as the lead nurse at a hospital that attends to injured ISIS members, on the exact territory that ISIS occupies.


“A London-educated scion of wealthy family and the eldest daughter of totalitarian President Erdogan, Sumeyye Erdogan, more than once announced her intention to be dispatched to Mosul, Iraq’s once second-biggest city and ISIL’s stronghold to do relief works as a volunteer which drew public ire and vast condemnation from Turkey’s opposition parties. Moreover, the Turkish opposition parties accuse the administration of Recep Tayyip Erdogan of seeking diligently to hide the truth concerning numerous financial malfeasances Erdogan son, Bilal Erdogan, is involved.”[1]


The constant denial of ties to ISIS by Turkish elites and party members seems to only fuel the speculation of their involvement. Erdogan’s hatred for Shiite Muslims – him being a conservative Sunni - has made the rumors and speculation of his ties to ISIS worth a second look. ISIS, and their attempt to radicalize their conservative Sunni ideology, are also considering Shiite Muslims the enemy and wrongful interpreters of the Quran. As a result, Erdogan, in his cynical way, has assisted in anyway for ISIS to discreetly exterminate the Shiites in the region. [2] Not only have these speculations been documented but have restricted Turkey from achieving prioritized goals. 


Issues and speculation like this are the reason why Turkey has also not been considered to be part of the European Union – something Turkey has wanted for a long time. Not only would it give their economy and currency value a boost, but would establish them as an anti-corrupt state – something that many countries in the EU have a hard time in believing. Their history of discrimination against minorities – and even women – suppressing their journalists and media figures, having a tyrannical President in Erdogan and his corrupt campaign with rumored involvement with ISIS have all led to the inevitable.


Turkey and their governmental elites should be investigated more thoroughly as their tyrannical characteristics have surfaced and continued to surface for quite some time. If the United States continues to back Turkey, they should probe at the government’s track record for discrimination as well as their involvement with ISIS. If they truly want to destroy the terrorist group and continue to impose their force as the leaders of the free world, they need to get to the bottom of these accusations involving their ally’s.

  1. Erdogan's government and the man himself sure do seem to coincide with the spread of radical Islam. I wouldn't doubt his involvement in ISIS or at least a similar organization. With his country's rough past I would not leave out the idea that higher-ups in the Turkish government have blood on their hands. The international community has to step up to the plate and see these tyrants for what they truly are- states that sponsor terrorism.
