Turkey 'let Isil cross border to attack Kobane': live


This time Turkish soldiers were caught(Turkish special forces and MIT agents were caught in the past too but disguised as ISIS)

How many times has the Turkish government actually called "YPG a bigger threat than ISIS". Who is still doubting that Turkey is aiding those guys?

Video of how the suicide truck crosses the Turkish border without any problems it seems.

I've already suspected Turkey about double play in this regard. They don't support ISIS publicly but they create a very porous boarder where supplies are getting through and new IS recruits from around the world can get through.

Many times have ISIS fighters who have been caught turned out as Turkish agents and soldiers with their IDs to be able to pass the border easier as even regular ISIS members do.

What are they speaking, Turkish? No subtitles.

P.S Suppose this is from a while back, since ISIS have not been present in Kobane for a couple of months since the Peshmerga/YPG kicked them out.

P.P.S I thought things would change now that Erdogan no longer has a majority in Ankara, FFS isn't the Kurdish party doing something? Didn't they win lots of votes from non Kurds who oppose the Islamist AK party?

 

[LeBrok]

I'm not sure if we can implicate Turkish government or officials, yet. I mean in creating unofficial support for IS. They might act as enablers and sympathizers though, looking through their fingers, not coming down strongly on IS cells in Turkey, not blocking weapon shipment, etc.

They just got involved in parliament recently as minority. I doubt, that they have any access to government documents, policies, or any influence on what Turkish army and secret service is doing.

It was enough to stop Erdogan from changing to an Presidental System. It isn't enough to do much, especially if all this is happening behind close doors.It is a new wave of ISIS attacks and they come just after Erdogan said "they would never allow a Kurdish state in Syria". Thats no coincidence.

Wouldn't be surprised if they're funding IS, the AK party are fundamentalist Islamists.

It's not only the AKP Party( (it got worse withing the last years though) . Turkeys government has a history of supporting dubious organisations against Kurds. in the 90s they were funding Turkeys Hezbollah Movement to counter PKK influence on the region. The Hezbollah movement was known for it's brutality.

Good news, Kobane is already cleaned out off IS terrorists. The last attack seems a very desperate in nature, a failed attempt and an illusion, that IS is able to create any sizable offensive. However unlikely it might seems, when considering reports about army of fighters arriving there from around the world, they might be running out the fighters. IS have a very long front line, a price to pay when one declares a war on every neighboring country and ethnicity.
They need to fight around Syria, man the border with Jordan, many thousands are fighting Kurds, many more fight Shia Iraqis, plus they fight many Sunni tribes who don't like them, and last but not least, it takes an army of people to keep all the conquered population in constant control and fear. Thy have tens of thousands of fighters, but they are stretched to a braking point.
Shortage of fighters could be behind the change of their tactics. Recent attacks on Ramadi, Kobane and others, carry more of a resemblance to terrorist attacks, with small groups of suicide bombers, than attack of a regular army. They can't use their heavy equipment either. It was drastically reduced by ally bombing campaign, and what is left is hidden away for protection. They can't even move around big battalions of men with equipment, for tactical and offensive purposes, or they would be destroyed from the air.
For the lack of equipment and man power they need to rely more on terror attacks than ever before.
I think their offensive is over, they are grinding down to a halt. From no one we should see IS retreating and losing territory. They should collapse in a year. Allies main objectives should be delivering heavy weapons to Kurds, whipping Iraqis soldiers into something resembling a fighting army, and making sure Turkey plays fair.

I wonder what will happen with all the land in Syria, which possibly will be liberated by Kurds and Iraqis/Iranians? Surly they won't give it to Assad, right? I'm only sure about Kurdish part, the rest will be up for grabs and new power vacuum straggle.

Talk is that the states for the kurds and assyrians will form ( some form of buffer states, keeping the "ottomans" seperated from the "Persians" )..............they only need to worry about the Isis supporter - the Turkish president and what he will do.

Apart from Kurdistan, there will be at least 2 new states, one in liberated from Assad and IS part of Syria, the other in Sunni part of Iraq. Possibly the region will be fractured into many small and independent regions and states. Even Kurdistan might not be one solid country. I'm hoping for a federation of Kurdish provinces due to different religious and ethnic backgrounds of Kurds, which makes it hard to unite. Not one monolithic country, which is unrealistic and impossible without long civil war and a dictator, but strongly cooperating union of provinces under one federal government. It should be most stable form of governance for them.

What you mean is basically a United States/peovinces system. Well Iraqi/Syrian Kurdistan are drifting in that way with provinces taking care of their own. But if you mean not being one solid country in being many different, I have to disagree strongly.

The biggest problem of Kurds since several hundred years is, that Kurds were divided in Kurdish principalities/tribal confederations and not united in one strong Kurdish nation. In the current Near East you need to be one united power. Especially now when we Kurds have finally build up some kind of national unity. This is what the enemies of Kurdistan feared and fear the most.

However if you mean a "lose provincal" state system. Thats something different.


Syria from the current situation might be divided into 3-4 states. an Alawite/Assad Syria corresponding to the historic "Syrian territory". A Sunni state corresponding to the Sunni Arab regions merging with Sunni regions in Iraq, a Kurdish state in North all allong the border. And possibly a Druze state in the South.

There is a strip of land in the southern part of Hassake where Assyrians make up a small majorty. This might become a possible Assyrian state. However an Assyrian state seems more plausible in North Iraq, on the southern borders of Iraqi Kurdistan on the Niniveh plains, though but only if they cooperate with Kurdistan otherwise they will be crushed within a day by the Iraqi chauvinist extremists who lay claim on the region as "theirs".

it is good to hear that from a Kurd,

that kurds might be united and not divided in states,
however you must agree that this needs lots of work to be done,
and annex of religion and political parties,
though it is possible in a confederation or a union with respect to the others culture,

anyway I hope solution and peace reach the lands there soon enough.

I agree that one strong Kurdistan would be the best protection for all Kurds. Kurds are rather tolerant people and one united Kurdistan is a viable possibility. However, it remains to be seen, if participating provinces and power centers will agree on one form of federal government. Creation of a country is a messy process.
