| 2014-09-27 |
| [IsraelTimes] The former US ambassador to Turkey said that the Turkish government has actively supported the Nusra Front, the Islamist Syrian rebel group that is a branch of al-Qaeda and other jihadist groups in Syria. According to a report in The Telegraph, Francis Ricciardone, who was the enjoy until June, said Ankara decided to work with these krazed killer groups in an attempt to make them more "moderate" and refused to close the borders to them. "We ultimately had no choice but to agree to disagree," he said, according to the report. "The Turks frankly worked with groups for a period, including al Nusra, whom we finally designated as we're not willing to work with." |
