You can't blame Turkey. It's too used to killing Armenians and Kurds
to stop now. That's why instead of bombing ISIS, it's back to bombing
Kurds in a Kurdish village.
Despite Turkey's sponsorship of ISIS, it might be willing to bomb it.
If only there were more Armenians and Kurds in ISIS.
F-16 jets bombed PKK targets in the village of Daglica in the
Kurdish-majority Hakkari province near the border with Iraq, a security
source said.
Attack helicopters also struck at PKK targets around the village of
Geyiksuyu in the Tunceli province of eastern Turkey following raids
by the PKK.
Airstrikes have failed to stop Islamic State from reaching the centre
of Kobane, which was in danger of falling, as commanders from the
US-led coalition prepared to meet overnight in Washington to discuss
halting the group's advance in Iraq and Syria.
The US response is crippled by Turkey's denial of bases. Meanwhile
Turkey is bombing a Kurdish village using American planes. And
naturally no one is talking about civilian casualties. Islamic states
are apparently allowed to kill as many civilians as they want.
Fighters from the PKK (Kurdistan Workers' Party) have been aiding
Kurdish YPG militia in Kobane and Turkey has refused to help supply
its long-standing enemy with weapons or allow Kurdish fighters to
enter Syria.
French President Francois Hollande appealed to the government in Ankara
on Tuesday to open its border, as US-led fighter jets continued to
target IS fighters in and around Kobane.
The air raids on PKK positions near the south-eastern village of
Daglica on Monday caused "heavy casualties", Hurriyet daily reported.
As I wrote before, it's time to kick Turkey out of NATO. It's
a terrorist regime that continues to engage in genocide while
collaborating with terrorists.
