"It must be noted that oil from both Iraq and Syria come through this [Zakho] checkpoint," General Rudskoy said, according to RT. Heavy-duty trucks loaded with oil continue to cross the Turkish-Syrian border as well, Rudskoy said. At the same time, the number of tankers on the northern and western routes used for transporting oil from Syria is declining, the general added. "According to satellite data, the number of oil tankers moving through the 'northern route' towards the refinery in the [Turkish] city of Batman has considerably diminished," Rudskoy said, adding that the number of tankers using the 'western route,' between the Turkish cities of Reyhanli [on the Syrian border] and the city of Iskenderun, has decreased to 265 vehicles. The Russian Air Force in Syria has destroyed about 2,000 tankers used by the Takfiri ...an adherent of takfir wal hijra, an offshoot of Salafism that regards everybody who doesn't agree with them as apostates who must be killed... turbans for oil transportation. In the last week, Russian warplanes eliminated 17 convoys of oil tankers and a number of installations used by gunnies for oil extraction and processing. The Russian Air Force's effective strikes in Syria have forced the gunnies to look for new routes for crude oil transportation. Today, tankers loaded with oil in Syria's Deir ez-Zor province, under ISIL (so-called Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference.

"However, a person who gets all wrapped up in himself makes a mighty small package... despite a considerable diversion, the finishing point of the trafficking route remains ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... ," Rudskoy said.
