Afrinpost – Special
Afrinpost correspondent learned from sources among the militants of the Turkish occupation that the Turkish intelligence had ordered the “Sultan Murad and Malikshah” militias to prepare lists of two hundred members form each of them as a first batch, with the aim of conducting a training course in the Turkish city of Mersin in preparation for sending them to the Indian-Pakistani borders to participate in the fighting along with the Pakistanis in their dispute over India over Kashmir region.
The correspondent quoted the militants as saying that the salary allocated to join the Kashmir Front is about 3000 US dollars, noting that some militants are already thinking of registering their names, but they are concerned about the possibility that their militia leaders will focus on the allocated salary, as happened in Libya and Karabagh / Artsakh, so they said that they will stipulate The Turkish intelligence to deliver the salaries directly to them, and not from the militia leaders, before they decide to join the training course in Mersin, Turkey.
Many militants who fought in Libya and Azerbaijan complained that Islamic militia leaders, as well as Turkish officers, deducted sums from their salaries.
In the same context, Masoud Khan, the head of the Pakistani Azad Kashmir region, said that Turkey’s sincere support for the Kashmiris disturbs the Indian authorities, considering that what is being circulated in the Indian media about Turkey sending Syrian mercenaries to the region as a “smear campaign against Turkey,” according to the Turkish Anatolia Agency.
Masoud Khan only acknowledged the Turkish political and diplomatic support for the Kashmiris, stressing that “Turkey’s sincere support for the Kashmiris in the right to self-determination disturbs the Indian government.”
The conflict over the Kashmir region began between India and Pakistan, since they gained independence from Britain in 1947, and 3 wars broke out between them, in 1948, 1965 and 1971, which resulted in the deaths of nearly 70 thousand people on both sides.
Pakistan calls the part of the region under its control “Azad Kashmir”, while India calls the part it controls “Jammu and Kashmir.”
