Turkey, without openly admiting it, has for many decades now waging a war against Kurds and is using any means to do so with the least possible excuse. It is a continuous genocide like the ones they commited against Greeks and Armenians although they try to cover it up.

Anyway, this time ISIS is doing the work for them, so again they will not be blamed. What previous members have answered you is each one a part of the whole truth.

Turkey and the Kurds are not friends; many people we call "Turkish" here in Germany are actually Kurds who have been granted political asylum. So Turkey is now in a political dilemma; supporting the Kurds with weapons to fight ISIS would be totally against their interior policy, but as Turkey is a NATO ally, they somehow have to. I see Erdogan gnawing his fingernails ...

Turkey wants to let Kurds massacre by ISIS Arabs, but after Kurds then next target will be Turkey.

Turkey is committing genocide against the Kurds, but that is ok, because the USS needs bases in Turkey. When Saddam was still in power, the no-fly zones were cleared of american and british planes, and radars were turned off so Turkish planes could bomb kurds in northern iraq.

ISIS is convincing the Kurds that the Turkish government isn't so bad.

Turkey already rescued Ayn-Al-Arab civilians. that's enough we should not act anymore. PKK/PYD is also a terrorist group and they killed more than 30.000 Turks. Why we should help them now? We should make a move only if all nato interact and this should be help for Syrian and Iraqian Governments. Our country should not help a terrorist group to finish another terrorist group.

the turks,are doing what the russians did to the poles in ww2;the russian army stood back and allowed the germans to wipe out the resistance,the the russians whent in and took over when there was no one left to defend the peoples rights.that is what the turks are going to do;
