Putin anser nu att IS’ mål i första hand är att försvara oljesmugglingen, som började redan efter kriget I Irak. Man behövde militär för att försvara smugglingen och därför användes islamismen för att locka till sig lättlurade kämpar, som blev kanonmat i Syrien. Smugglingen är så omfattande att den är ett stort affärsintresse.
Det här vänder ju liksom upp och ned på vår föreställning om IS, islamismen är inte det primära, oljan är det primära. Vem trodde det?
“Putin: Oil Smuggling in Middle East on Huge Scale
TEHRAN (FNA)- A large-scale scheme for oil smuggling has been established in the Middle East, Russian President Vladimir Putin said Thursday.
"You know, I am looking and analyzing everything that was happening there and what is happening there now. I think ISIL [Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant or Daesh, outlawed in Russia] is a secondary thing now," Putin said at his annual press conference.
The Russian leader reminded of the vacuum that was created after the war in Iraq.
"Then elements emerged related to the oil trade. And this situation has been unfolding for years. A business was established there, smuggling on huge, industrial scale. Then in order to protect this smuggling and illegal export, military force is needed. It is very easy to use the Islamic factor, attract cannon fodder there under Islamic slogans, who are only playing a role linked to economic interests," Putin explained.
He stressed that Daesh could be used as a pretext to military involvement to protect oil smuggling and illegal crude export."
""It is very easy to use the Islamic factor, attract cannon fodder there under Islamic slogans, who are only playing a role linked to economic interests," Putin said.
Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, which is outlawed in Russia and other many countries, controls large swathes of land in oil-rich Syria, Iraq and Libya. It earns millions of dollars selling smuggled crude on the black market, according to Russian and US estimates.
Illegal ISIL oil exports have been making their way to Turkey, the Russian Defense Ministry said earlier this month.
In November, Putin told French President Francois Hollande that huge volumes of Syrian oil were smuggled to Turkey, with the implicit support of Ankara. Washington estimates that ISIL militants control some 80 percent of Syria’s oil and gas fields.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has repeatedly denied profiting from ISIL's oil trafficking and vowed to resign if evidence emerged that his family was implicated in the Daesh oil business.”
