Turkey’s Fight Against ISIS In The Context Of The Historical Development Of Terrorism: Example of Foreign Terrorist Fighters
Abstract
Terrorism has become one of the most important issues affecting international relations in recent years. The unstability and chaos in the Middle East, in particular, has led to the growth of terrorist organizations in the region. ISIS is only one of the terrorist organizations which has established its presence in the region by use of this chaotic situation and has become known by the whole world through the execution videos publishing on the internet. ISIS, acting with its Salafist-jihadist ideology, has been showing the reached point of international terrorism by making sensational actions in many countries in recent years. ISIS has used the people called “Foreign Terrorist Fighter” (FTF) in terrorist acts in many countries. Some of the FTFs remain in their own countries and support ISIS in these countries. The other part of FTFs shows their supports by crossing to the conflict zones in Syria and Iraq and by fighting in the ISIS ranks. With the participation of Turkey and many other countries, there is a fight against FTFs. The main purpose of this study is to determine the role of the FTFs in ISIS and to try to analyze Turkey's multi-dimensional fight against FTFs. Official data declared from the Ministry of Interior of the Republic of Turkey were used in the analyses.
