“Pentagon report says ISIS taps Turkey for cash transfers to support global ops,” by Abdullah Bozkurt, Nordic Monitor, February 26, 2024:

Kurilla raised concerns about the potential recruitment of the next generation of ISIS fighters from the tens of thousands of children living in the camps.
“This, the most concerning group, includes the more than 30,000 children in the al-Hol camp for internally displaced persons and the more than 1,000 children in the al Roj camp who are in danger of ISIS indoctrination on a daily basis,” Kurilla noted.
“These children have little meaningful education, no access to the outside world, limited hot water, and few constructive outlets to develop their potential. They are at risk of becoming casualties to an ideological war within the camps: ISIS leaders want their minds.”…

No surprise here. It’s pretty obvious were Erdogan’s true allegiance lies, and it’s not with NATO.
