Defending Kobani: Turkey's hesitation
The number of Turkish people killed in demonstrations in support of
the Kurds fighting the ISIL in the Syrian Kurdish city of Kobani has
neared 40.
Turkey has been gripped by a series of protests over the past week,
a number of which turned violent in different parts of the country
after security forces conducted a bloody crackdown on the protesters.
Turkey continues to block any delivery of military, medical or
humanitarian assistance into Kobani where the ISIL terrorists are
feared to be aiming at massive bloodletting.
Analysts say Ankara, having already won the US green light, plans to
let the terrorists seize the Kurdish town of Kobani before sending
tanks and troops to fight them in a bid to capture and possibly annex
the Syrian territory.
Meanwhile, Press TV has learned that Washington has moved its base
from Jordan to Turkey to train radical extremists who are fighting
the Syrian government.
On Thursday, Idriss Nassan, the deputy head of Kobani's foreign
relations committee, called for pressuring the Turkish government to
open its borders to volunteers and allow delivery of ammunition for
the fighters.
Kobani and its surroundings have been under attack since mid-September,
with the ISIL militants capturing dozens of nearby Kurdish villages.
The ISIL terror operations have forced tens of thousands of Syrian
Kurds to flee into Turkey, which is a stone's throw from Kobani.
