Islamic State oil goes to Turkey – level 2
01-12-2015 07:00
Vladimir Putin said that people are transporting oil from the Islamic State to Turkey. The pilots of Russian jets, which are operating in Syria, saw this.
In a press conference held with the French President Francois Hollande, the Russian President urged Turkey to investigate the situation. He also said that corruption must be involved in such a big operation.
Difficult words: jet (a fast warplane), urge (to suggest something strongly), corruption (illegal behaviour from somebody in power).
You can read the original story and watch the video in the Level 3 section.
