Turkey and Ukraine Prepare Terrorist Brigades Aimed At RussiaBy Brandon Turbeville On August 1-2, a meeting was convened at the Hotel Billkent in Ankara, Turkey labeled the Second World Congress of the Tatars. This meeting brought together over 200 Tatar NGOs and associations from all over the world. The event was also attended by Ukrainian Foreign Minister Pavlo Klimkin and Turkish Deputy Prime Minister Numan Kurtulmus. Both officials participated in the event as well. As Zaman reports, Nearly 200 Crimean Tatar nongovernmental organizations and civil society groups gathered in Ankara as part of the Second World Crimean Tatar Congress to discuss the ongoing crisis in Ukraine and the situation of their brethren in Crimea, which was annexed by Russia in February of last year. The meeting took place on Saturday at Ankara Bilkent Hotel and Congress Center and focused on the dire conditions under which Crimean Tatars have to live in the face of encroaching Russian pressure on their cultural life. The gathering offered an opportunity for lengthy discussions about how to resolve the prolonged conflict in Ukraine and to maintain Tatars threatened community rights under the new administration in Crimea. But, while Russia and the annexation of Crimea were the focus of the meeting, a foolish and potentially dangerous decision was made between Ukraine and Turkey. At the meeting, it was announced by Mustafa Abdulcemil Cemiloglu, acting leader of the Crimean Tatars as decreed by Ukrainian President Poroshenko, the creation of a Muslim Brigade to oppose Crimean separatism, as well as human trafficking and the transportation of goods near conflict zones. In other words, the creation of a terrorist brigade to combat Russian involvement in Crimea and pro-Russian sentiment and activism in the area. It should be noted that Cemiloglu was a notorious CIA asset and collaborator throughout the years of the Reagan Administration. He was also the former leader of the Crimea Tatar Majlis. After the announcement was made by Cemiloglu, he was received by Turkish Recep Erdogan, who assured him of Turkeys full support for the Tatars against Russia. Turkey has been vocal about the territorial integrity of Ukraine and has, like the rest of NATO, taken a strong anti-Russian stance on the issue of Ukraine. The Muslim Brigade will apparently be based at Herson, near the Crimean border and will include volunteers and jihadists from a number of other locations in the region Tatarstan, Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan, Chechnya, and Georgia. Turkey will not be left out of the mix, however, since it will be committing a number of the jihadists currently operating within its own borders for the purposes of destroying the government of Syria to the new Muslim Brigade in Ukraine. Indeed, in December 2013, Turkish intelligence sent a number of Tatar jihadists to Ukraine so they would be able to assist the Western color revolution in Kiev where the terrorists acted as security for pro-European and anti-Russian protests in the Maidan, often suspected of being the culprits behind a number of violent acts resulting in the violent crackdown by police. As the Voltaire Network reported in its article Jihadists In Charge of Crowd Control In Kiev Protests, They are members of the Azatlyk (freedom) movement led by young Nal Nabiullin, and campaign for a Greater Turkey. They are backed by Trotskyist parties such as the Russian Left Front of Sergei Udaltsov, as well as the Turkish government of Recep Tayyip Erdoan. Theyve just come back from Syria, through Turkey, where they had gone to practice jihad against the Syrian government. They seem to be behind the provocations that have led the Riot Police to commit excesses. With this in mind, it is very concerning that Turkey and Ukraine are moving towards greater provocations against Russia this time using jihadist terrorists on and inside Russian borders. Such moves clearly increase the likelihood that Russia will be forced to engage NATO and its proxies in a direct military fashion at some point. After all, color revolutions, if caught early, can be eliminated by removing the NGOs and Foundations responsible for organizing the golden youth but repeated acts of suicidal terrorism must be cut off at the source or it will continue to take place indefinitely. If Russia finds itself surrounded by US/NATO military bases and missile systems while, at the same time, being faced with economic warfare and sanctions, it may view its current position of non-intervention as untenable when faced with cross-border terrorist attacks openly supported by NATO countries. Indeed, it appears that Vladmir Putin is already well aware of the attempts by NATO and Turkey in particular to use terrorism against Russia inside the Russian borders. According to a report by Press TV, in recent visit to the Crimea, Putin stated Its obvious that a risk remains from outside forces to destabilize the situation on the [Crimean] peninsula in one way or another. In certain capitals they talk openly about the need to carry out subversive activities. Personnel are being recruited and trained to carry out subversion, acts of sabotage to conduct radical propaganda. Turkeys move also bolsters the assertions made by others such as Webster Tarpley that the Turkish bombing of ISIS in the rare instances where ISIS forces are actually targeted is nothing more than an attempt to push some ISIS forces East towards Iran and, eventually, Russia. Increasing tensions between the United States, NATO and Russia over Syria, Iran, Ukraine, and the current sanctions can only be increased further by Turkeys support of terrorism aimed at Russia. Erdogans fantasies of becoming the next Ottoman emperor have apparently become so great that he believes challenging Russia is a legitimate means to this end. It is time for both Erdogan and the rest of the Western world to realize the folly of these attempts and to immediately back off of further provocation.

I just wonder how much of Erdogans actions are fully sanctioned by US/NATO or whether hes completely going off the reservation. Im thinking hes not long for his position, but thats pure speculation, whether removed from within or forced out by other means. Whatever the case, Turkey seems to be going to be the main force of destabilization in the region. Duff had a pretty interesting piece on Turkey recently; and yes, I know hes a crazy idiot, but theres often grains of truth in his rantings and ravings. They do make for good comedy anyway.
