You bomb the hell out of them, and then you encircle it, and then you go in. And you let Mobil go in, and you let our great oil companies go in.

“The undersecretary of the Interior Ministry has openly confessed to us that these six wounded YPG members were handed to the front organization of al-Nusra and gangs close to them,” İdris Baluken, the deputy parliamentary group chair of the Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP), told reporters at a press conference on Aug. 10.

Approached by Hürriyet Daily News for further clarification, Baluken said the undersecretary told him last week that the six YPG members were “deported.”

“When somebody is deported, it means handed over to border gate authorities. In this case, it took place at Cilvegözü and everybody knows very well under whose control that place is,” Baluken said, referring to news reports that Ahrar al-Sham controlled the Bab al-Hawa border crossing, opposite Turkey’s Cilvegözü border entrance.

Baluken said the undersecretary told him that he was unaware of identities and affiliation of the administrators at Bab al-Hawa.
