is a reminder of a story that goes back to 2015. Turkish MP, Eren
Erdem told RT that Sarin materials were being transported from Europe
to Syria through Turkey. He is currently in jail for treason for
telling RT.
Sarin
materials brought via Turkey & mixed in Syrian ISIS camps -
Turkish MP to RT
RT,
December, 12, 2015
ISIS
terrorists in Syria received all necessary materials to produce
deadly sarin gas via Turkey, a Turkish MP claimed, citing evidence
from an abruptly closed criminal case. Speaking to RT, Eren Erdem
said there is grounds to believe of a cover up.
The main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) member, Eren Erdem, brought up the issue for public discussion in parliament last week. He accused Ankara of failing to investigate Turkish supply routes used to provide terrorists with toxic sarin gas ingredients.
Sarin gas is a military-grade chemical that was used in a notorious attack on Ghouta and several other neighborhoods near the Syrian capital of Damascus in 2013. The attacks were pinned on the Syrian leadership, who in turn agreed to get rid of all chemical weapons stockpiles under a UN-brokered deal amid an imminent threat of US intervention.

Addressing parliamentarians on Thursday, Erdem showed a copy of the criminal case number 2013/120 that was opened by the General Prosecutor's Office in the city of Adana in southern Turkey.
Speaking to RT later, Erdem explained the basis of his accusations in detail. The investigation revealed that a number of Turkish citizens took part in negotiations with Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) representatives on the supply of sarin gas.
Pointing to evidence cited in the criminal case, he said that wiretapped phone conversations proved that an Al-Qaeda militant, Hayyam Kasap, acquired sarin. “There is data in this indictment. Chemical weapon materials are being brought to Turkey and being put together in Syria in camps of ISIS which was known as Iraqi Al Qaeda during that time. These are all detected.
There are phone recordings of this shipment like ‘don't worry about the border, we’ll take care of it' and we also see the bureaucracy is being used,” Erdem told RT. Based on the gathered evidence Adana authorities conducted raids and arrested 13 suspects in the case.
But a week later, for some inexplicable reason, the case was closed and all the suspects immediately crossed the Turkish-Syrian border, Erde says. “About the shipment, Republic prosecutor of Adana, Mehmet Arıkan, made an operation and the related people were detained.
But as far as I understand he was not an influential person in bureaucracy.
A week after, another public prosecutor was assigned, took over the indictment and all the detainees were released. And they left Turkey crossing the Syrian border,”he said.

“The phone recordings in the indictment showed all the details from how the shipment was going to be made to how it was prepared, from the content of the labs to the source of the materials. Which trucks were going to be used, all dates etc.
From A to Z, everything was discussed and recorded. Despite all of this evidence, the suspects were released,” he continued. “And the shipment happened,” Erdem added. “Because no one stopped them.
That’s why maybe the sarin gas used in Syria is a result of this.” Speaking to RT, Erdem said that according to some evidence Turkish Mechanical and Chemical Industry Corporation was also involved, with some unconfirmed reports pointing in the direction of a government cover up, with Minister of Justice Bekir Bozdag’s involvement.
According to some evidence, Bozdag wanted to know beforehand from the sarin gas producer when and if the Islamists will use the chemical weapon. “When I read the indictment, I saw clearly that these people have relationships with The Machinery and Chemical Industry Institution of Turkey and they don’t have any worries about crossing the border.
For example in Hayyam Kasap's phone records, you hear him saying sarin gas many times, saying that the ateliers are ready for production, materials are waiting in trucks which were supposedly carrying club soda,” he told RT.
The parliamentarian said that now he feels like there is witch hunt against him, after he confronted the Justice Minister. Bozdag, according to Erdem denied only the part that he wanted to get notified about the operations beforehand. READ

Furthermore, Erdem argues that the West purposely blamed the regime of Bashar Assad for the August 2013 attacks and used it as part of the pretext to make US military intervention in Syria possible. The MP said that evidence in Adana’s case, according to his judgment, proves that ISIS was responsible.
