Talk:Turkish-Syrian border

AWD News?
Turkey attitude is clearly stated in comments by MIT chief Hakan Fidan, to Anadolu news agency, at least as awdnews.com reported on 18 October, 2015:
 * Mr. Hakan Fidan, Turkish President's staunchest ally, condemned Russian military intervention in Syria, accusing Moscow of trying to 'smother' Syria's Islamist revolution and serious breach of United Nations law.
 * “ISIS is a reality and we have to accept that we cannot eradicate a well-organized and popular establishment such as the Islamic State; therefore I urge my western colleagues to revise their mindset about Islamic political currents, put aside their cynical mentalité and thwart Vladimir Putin's plans to crush Syrian Islamist revolutionaries,” Anadolu News Agency quoted Mr. Fidan as saying on Sunday.
 * Fidan further added that in order to deal with the vast number of foreign Jihadists craving to travel to Syria, it is imperative that ISIS must set up a consulate or at least a political office in Istanbul. He underlined that it is Turkey’s firm belief to provide medical care for all injured people fleeing Russian ruthless airstrikes regardless of their political or religious affiliation.

Taking a closer look for the original Anadolu article on these rather incendiary comments ... Fidan search ... if it ever existed, they pulled it and replaced it with this announcement of October 20. They never ran that, the MIT doesn't give such interviews, "These fabricated stories by foreign sources are regarded as part of an international psychological campaign against Turkey," and "Necessary steps have been taken to have such fabricated stories removed, with legal rights being reserved." -- Caustic Logic, 03:52, 16 November 2015‎


 * Previously (1.10.15) media sources reported that ISIS announced "hopes" to open a "consulate in Istanbul" annahar.com, alalam.ir. Turkey denied ISIS presence. -- Resup, 08:21, 16 November 2015‎


 * AWD News is a disinformation source. It claims to cite reliable MSM sources that are in fact nonexistent. Previous hoaxes from the same sources include "Putin telling Erdogan to go to hell and take his ISIS with him" claimed to originate from the Moscow Times. -- Petri Krohn (talk) 13:48, 16 November 2015 (UTC)
