Talking Turkey About Terrorism
5th November 2021
Senate Foreign Relations Committee and Chairman Menendez Fail to Question the Nominee for U.S. Ambassador to Turkey about Terrorism
Several times this year, the U.S. State Department and Treasury Department have cited Turkey as a financial base for ISIS and al-Qaeda.
Turkey has long sponsored ISIS and other international terrorist organizations. No serious analyst disputes this.
Turkey has armed, financed, and deployed terrorists in such locations as Syria, Libya, and Azerbaijan.
On September 28, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee (SFRC) and Chairman Robert Menendez (D-NJ) quizzed President Biden’s nominee to be ambassador to Turkey, former U.S. Senator Jeff Flake (R-AZ).
