Turkey fights Kurds who fight ISIS
2015-11-29
[ARA News] ISTANBUL – Although Turkey agreed to join the U.S.-led coalition against the radical group of Islamic State (ISIS) in the region, the Turkish army has focused most of its strikes on positions of the Kurdish rebels of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), ignoring military actions against ISIS targets.

Kurdish activists argue that Turkey has hit few ISIS targets to justify its alleged “anti-terror” efforts and shifted its military operations towards bombing Kurdish positions. Others went on saying that Turkey has facilitated ISIS-led attacks on Kurdish civilians in Suruc last July and Ankara last month.

“We are determined to continue the anti-terrorism operations inside and outside the country,” Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said after his ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) won the early elections begin of November. “No break; we will keep on.”
