I agree.....but more significant imo is the underlying long term relationship between Turkey and ISIS......its known that Turkey has made some dubious under the table oil deals with ISIS(ISIS sell £10 million worth of oil a month on the black market), there is also speculation that Turkey is actually arming ISIS to help fight the Kurds in Syria,it is also known that some high tier elements of the Turkish govenment are sympathetic to ISIS, because of Turkish efforts to oust Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and to fight the rise of Kurdish separatist groups,it is also well documented that Turkey is turning a blind eye to the vast smuggling networks on Turkish soil of weapons and fighters during the ongoing Syrian war
At the end of the day its the Kurds that are getting the big Turkish stick and not ISIS which seems ass about face.....The Turkish hierarchy have the priorities I guess? but ISIS is not one of them even with the West pushing the issue
I guess we will see what the future holds?? Kurdish Genocide like the 1.5 million Armenian Genocide........ I hope not as there are 15 million Turkish Kurd's approx?
Strange world lads.......but will Turkish opinions change after the ISIS(suspected) attack on Ataturk International Airport in Istanbul ??
