Azerbaijani oligarch’s ships at Islamic State’s disposal

Tankers of an Azerbaijani oligarch assist ISIL in selling oil, asserts French journalist and political activist Thierry Meyssan in his article ‘Behind the anti-terror alibi, the gas war in the Levant’, published by Voltaire Network.
Meyssan writes about what do the oil refineries, that fell into jihadists hands, signify in a war allegedly waged against terrorism? ‘According to the Pentagon, they were controlled by the Islamic Emirate and brought it much income,’ writes Meyssan. ‘The answer is obviously false.
When states under embargo try to sell gas or oil on the international market, they do not succeed. But the Islamic Emirate does, despite resolutions 1373 (2001) and 2170 (2014) of the Security Council. Publicly notorious, it steals oil in Iraq and Syria, routing it by pipeline to the Turkish port of Ceyhan, from where it is transported to Israel by tankers of the Palmali Shipping & Agency JSC, the Turkish-Azeri company of billionaire Mubariz Gurbanoğlu. At the port of Ashkelon, Israeli authorities provide false certificates of origin from Eilat, then they are exported to the European Union, which pretends to believe they’re Israeli.’
Meyssan further reminds that ‘the same firm serving also to export gas and oil stolen by the local government of Iraqi Kurdistan, the United States and the GCC, if they acted pursuant to resolutions 1373 (2001) and 2170 (2014) should also attack Iraqi Kurdistan. Instead, they support it (not against the Islamic Emirate, but against the central government in Baghdad),’ adds French journalist.
‘The bombing of these facilities cannot be understood as other than a desire to deprive Syria of its refining capacity when peace returns,’ concludes Meyssan, reported Azeridaily.com.
