King Abdullah of Jordan claims Turkey is sending terrorists to Europe.
During a meeting with U.S. members of Congress in January, the leader said the refugee crisis in Europe was not an accident and neither was the infiltration of terrorists hiding among them, according to Middle East Eye.
“The fact that terrorists are going to Europe is part of Turkish policy and Turkey keeps on getting a slap on the hand, but they are let off the hook,” he said.
Abdullah also claimed Turkey was getting oil from ISIS.
The remarks were made on January 11. The next day Abdullah was supposed to talk with President Obama, but the meeting was cancelled by the administration, which cited “scheduling conflicts”. Instead, Obama exchanged greetings with the Jordanian leader, one of the U.S.’s biggest allies, at Joint Base Andrews.
Abdullah thinks Turkish president Tayyip Erdogan is motivated by the belief in a “radical Islamic solution to the region”.
He thinks Turkey is a challenge to the world.

“We keep being forced to tackle tactical problems against ISIL but not the strategic issue. We forget the issue [of] the Turks who are not with us on this strategically,” Abdullah said.
He pointed out that Turkey has let foreign fighters into Syria and helped radical Islamic militias into Libya and Somalia.
Jordan’s Foreign Minister Nasser Judeh said Ankara was prevented from establishing a safe zone in northern Syria to stop the refugees from going to Turkey, so they retaliated by unleashing them in Europe.
Both Judeh and Abdullah believe the several billion dollar deal offered to Turkey to stem the flow of migrants, by the EU, was a bad idea.
