New evidence of Erdogan's involvement in Syrian mayhem emerges
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erodgan depends on terrorist and radical organizations in achieving his expansionist goals inside Arab, Islamic and African states. This is why he offers all types of support to these organizations.
Everybody is becoming familiar with this Turkish technique. This is particularly true after the emergence of a large number of documents and accounts by Turkish officers, which all point to the crimes committed by the Turkish regime. This regime achieves its goals by spreading chaos.
Arming terrorist groups
Erdogan drew a plan for spreading chaos inside Syria. This plan has been in place since 2011 when Erdogan was still the prime minister of Turkey. This also coincided with the eruption of what came to be known as the "Arab Spring" revolutions.
Erdogan offered training and arms to terrorist groups inside his country. He then sent these groups inside Syria to destabilize it. The ultimate goal is for the terrorists to bring down the Syrian regime and replace it with another that is more loyal to Istanbul.
On January 19, the Swedish site Nordic Monitor wrote on January 19 that the Turkish intelligence service formed in 2011 a working group whose mission was to bring the Syrian president down.
The group, the Swedish site said, took orders directly from then-prime minister Erdogan.
Bringing the Assad regime down
In 2011, the Turkish intelligence service summoned a large number of retired Turkish army officers to assign them the mission of training and arming the terrorists who would then be sent to Syria.
Information in this regard was unveiled by a source who worked at the Turkish security apparatus for a long time in the past.
The source said that the Turkish intelligence service had released convicts and criminals from jails and included them within the ranks of the new groups it was forming in preparation for sending them to Syria.
The whole thing, the source said, looked like an organized campaign.

Rewarding lawbreaking officers
Erdogan absolved lawbreaking officers from punishment and even rewarded them by enlisting them in his country's intelligence service.
The Turkish intelligence also offered support to what came to be known as the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS). It provided the organization with arms and explosives, both in Syria and Iraq, according to the sources quoted by Nordic Monitor.
A Turkish shipment of explosive wires was intercepted by Turkish police in an area on the Turkish-Syrian border. Around 6 tons of this wire was hid inside onions sacks that were headed to ISIS Syria and Iraq. The shipment was guarded by Turkish intelligence officers.
Turkey backing ISIS
Soon after the shipment was intercepted by Turkish police on the border between Turkey and Syria, nine people were accused of backing terrorism. The driver of the truck that carried the wires confessed at the court that those who asked him to drive the truck into Syria had told him that the Turkish government approved of the shipment.
The driver also quoted a Turkish intelligence officer as telling him that the shipment would be sent to ISIS.
Investigations into the case showed the involvement of Erdogan's government.
Prime suspect
Because Erdogan was the prime suspect in the case, the Turkish chief prosecutor ordered on February 21, 2017 the release of the truck driver. He also ordered the whole case be closed.
A few months later, the driver had to reveal more information about the shipment. He said he checked the IDs of two of the people he sold the explosives to and that they were Turkish intelligence officers.
However, the Turkish government claimed that the shipment was headed to the Kurdistan Workers' Party
