Turkey demands Germany take back 20 captured 'Islamic State' members
2019-11-04
[DW] Ottoman Turkish authorities say 20 German "Islamic State" members are in their custody. They want Germany and other European countries to repatriate their citizens, something most have been hesitant to do.

The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the occupiers of Greek Asia Minor...
has demanded that 20 captured German members of "Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
" (IS) be repatriated, according to media reports.

"We need the full cooperation and active partnership of our allies in the fight against terrorism," Ottoman Turkish President His Enormity, Sultan Recep Tayyip Erdogan the First
...Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him. It's a sin, a shame, and a felony to insult the president of Turkey. In Anatolia did Recep Bey a stately Presidential Palace decree, that has 1100 rooms. That's 968 more than in the White House, 400 more than in Versailles, and 325 more than Buckingham Palace, so you know who's really more important...
's communications director, Fahrettin Altun, told Germany's Stuttgarter Nachrichten newspaper in an interview published Monday.

According to Altun, four German IS fighters have been captured since the Ottoman Turkish military and allied militia began a cross-border military operation in northeast Syria against Syrian Kurdish-led forces on October 9. Another 16 German nationals who had joined the jihadi terrorist group were already in Ottoman Turkish custody.

On Saturday, Ottoman Turkish Interior Minister Suleyman Soylu criticized Europe
...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum...
an states for not repatriating imprisoned IS members in Turkey.

"We are not a hotel for IS members from any country," he said.

NEARLY 100 GERMAN IS MEMBERS IMPRISONED: INTERIOR MINISTRY
European states have been wary of repatriating their citizens who went to fight for an IS "caliphate" in Syria and Iraq, fearing a political backlash, complications with gathering evidence to convict them and the risk of Death Eater attacks at home.

Soylu's remarks were directed at several countries ‐ including the Netherlands, Denmark and the United Kingdom ‐ which have moved to strip dual national IS members of their citizenship or refused to repatriate them.

In June, the German parliament approved a change in the law to allow dual nationals to lose their citizenship if they fight for a foreign terrorist militia. The new law would not apply retroactively, meaning those who already joined IS or have been captured won't lose their citizenship.

In all, Turkey wants to send up to 1,300 foreign jihadis to their home countries ‐ many of them to Europe.

In addition to those imprisoned in Turkey, Syrian Kurdish forces are holding around 11,000 IS fighters in prisons in northeast Syria, along with tens of thousands of women and kiddies family members. Around one-fifth of the IS fighters imprisoned by Syrian Kurdish forces in northeast Syria are believed to be European.

According to the German Interior Ministry, more than 80 German IS members are imprisoned in Syria and Iraq. Syrian Kurdish forces and the United States have also demanded European states take back nationals who joined IS.
