A former Turkish military officer has revealed "criminal actions" committed by Turkish President Erdogan, against future generations of Turks and his attempts to "instruct Turkish youth with the ideology of ISIS" as he said.
Former Turkish officer, Ahmet Ayla, who has served in counterterrorism department of the Turkish police for 25 years, noted that "there is a great fear among Turkish citizens to write any tweet on social media or raise their voice for fears of imprisonment."
In a video circulated on Twitter, Ayla revealed Erdogan's "criminal actions" which are committed against future generations of Turks, and the attempted "ideology" which Erdogan seeks, he said: "Erdogan can communicate with many people by using his country's funds and brainwashing residents in institutions. One of the basic ways used by Erdogan is marketing extremist thoughts through books of deviant ideas."
Moreover, the Turkish officer pointed out that Erdogan "exploits" government institutions to publish the writings of the Islamic State terrorist group (ISIS), which is purchased by the Turkish Ministry of Culture, as these "ISIS" books are distributed to Turkish libraries and stamped by the Turkish state.
Ahmet predicted that this would bring "generations of terrorists", saying: "If you were a student going to state libraries for a research project and saw a book sealed by the Turkish Ministry of Culture at the age of fifteen. Of course, you will trust this book and conduct your research in objective cases, based on what is described in this book or several similar others."
There are accusations that Turkey is using members of the Islamic State (ISIS) in its war against the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) in northern Syria.
A report by the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights revealed on Saturday the presence of ISIS members within the ranks of the Syrian armed opposition groups who are fighting alongside the Turkish military in northern Syria.
As the observatory said that those ISIS militants have changed their names and moved to fight among Turkey-backed armed groups, such as "Abu Osama al-Shami," pointing out that this person joined al-Nusra Front in 2012, then two years later he pledged allegiance to ISIS and fought alongside its ranks, before joining Turkish-backed groups.
