Azerbaijani Oil Continues to be Transported to the Jewish Entity via Türkiye!

News:

State Oil Company of Azerbaijan SOCAR, which supplies oil to “Israel” through Türkiye, was protested in front of its building in İstanbul. The group which organized the protest, Thousand Youth for Palestine, showed their reaction by throwing red paint at the company that supplies oil to "Israel". The group chanted slogans such as “We are on the neck of those who feed the occupation and genocide from these lands, we will not give passage to this bloody trade!”. (Karar Newspaper, 31.05.2024)

Comment:

Immediately after the March 31 local elections, which the government lost, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan announced that they were stopping trade with the Jewish entity and imposing export restrictions on 54 products from Türkiye. Erdogan later said in several statements that despite the $9.5 billion trade volume between Türkiye and the Jewish entity, they were cutting trade completely to support the people of Gaza. The President has also expressed that the Jewish entity is a terrorist state and that Netanyahu should be tried as a genocidal baby killer on every platform he speaks on, regardless of the subject and content of the meeting.

Listening to Erdogan's increasingly angry words against the Jewish entity, one might think that he bears great hostility towards the Jewish entity and that he is doing everything he can to ensure the victory of the people of Gaza. More precisely, this is what he wants the Muslim peoples to think, and this is what all his efforts are aimed at. But it is enough to look at actions instead of words to see that the reality is very different from Erdoğan's narrative.

Has Türkiye really stopped trading with the Zionist gang? Or is it continuing it through different channels? This is not clear for now. At least, it has not been publicized until today. However, foodstuffs are not among the product groups such as jet fuel, cement, iron and steel that have been restricted. The Quds News Network reported in February that Türkiye is one of the countries that exports the most fruit and vegetables to the Jewish entity .

In other words, while the Jewish entity condemned the people of Gaza to starvation and thirst for 7 months, Türkiye took the lead in feeding the occupying terrorists. Although the Turkish Ministry of Trade announced that all trade has stopped as of April 9, the government has no credibility on this issue. This is because the ruling party first denied the trade with the occupying entity while genocide was being committed in Gaza, then explained that there was no way to prevent it due to international agreements, and those who criticized the continuation of the trade were accused of being agents of third countries. Finally, when public pressure prevailed, they were forced to confess and announced that the trade had been stopped.

Today, the same situation is taking place with the SOCAR Company selling oil to the Jewish entity through Turkey. Despite Türkiye's statement to restrict trade with the Jewish entity, oil is being transported to the Jews via the Baku-Ceyhan-Tbilisi Pipeline. While the Azerbaijani state meets nearly 40 percent of oil needs of the Jewish entity, especially the SOCAR Company mediates this bloody trade. Many NGOs, youth organizations and the people of Türkiye as a whole are organizing protests to demand that Türkiye not only impose restrictions on its own products, but also prevent the products going to the Jewish genocide gang through Türkiye.

The government, which supposedly imposes sanctions on the Jewish entity, does not want to prevent this in any way, because Erdogan and other officials are not sincere, and because of this insincerity, the embassies and consulates of the Jewish entity have still not been closed. There are still no legal proceedings in Türkiye against Netanyahu and the pack of “Israeli” murderers. “Israeli” terrorists with Turkish citizenship who went to fight in Gaza have still not been punished and deported.

Moreover, the Zionist genociders continue to be supported and protected by detaining the youth protesting against SOCAR, the oil company of the Jew-friendly, secular dictator Aliyev regime, in a dawn operation. The question then is: If “Israel” is a terrorist state and the Netanyahu government and its immoral genocidal soldiers are criminals, why are the young people who want the criminals to be expelled from Türkiye punished and not those who support their massacres, such as SOCAR? This is simply hypocrisy! It is working with the wolf and crying with the lamb.

On the other hand, SOCAR said in a statement that they do not sell crude oil directly to the Jewish entity. However, SOCAR said that they would not interfere in which country the companies SOCAR does business with would sell oil to! In other words, it indirectly accepted the sale to the baby killers. SOCAR's statement is exactly the same as the government's statement in which it first cunningly attempted to deny the issue of trade with the occupying entity and then had to confess due to public pressure.

Now this protest against SOCAR is being labeled as a provocation and the betrayal of Gaza by Azerbaijan and Türkiye is being covered up with the argument of 'two states, one nation'. But no matter what is done, the flood of Gaza will continue to expose the traitors who support the crusader-Jewish alliance and clarify the ranks. And Allah willing, very soon, when the Khilafah Rashidah is established and the sun of Islam shines brightly, all the traitors along with the occupying Jews will be uprooted from the body of the Ummah.

Just like the comparison that the Messenger of Allah (saw) made about Madinah as he (saw) said:

«الْمَدِينَةُ كَالْكِيرِ تَنْفِي خَبَثَهَا وَيَنْصَعُ طَيِّبُهَا» “Medinah is like a furnace, it expels out the impurities (bad persons) and selects the good ones and makes them perfect.” (Bukhari and Muslim)
