    Look everybody...

    I was absent for one week from this forum and came to find that it is full of accusations for me that I support an organization, and that I'm justifying any crimes against civilians.

    To make it brief for all of you, I never came here to make problems with any of you. I'm not here to fight with anybody because simply I'm here just to give an opinion. If that opinion suits you, it is ok. If it does not suit you, just ignore it. I'm not here to justify anything for anybody. I'm merely giving all of you a second opinion to what you hear regularly in your communities. If that is forbidden here in the forum, just tell me, and I will get silent directly. If you feel that any opinion I have is extremist, I can assure you I'm a very normal person that lives his own life and does not want to hurt a fly ever.

    Peace upon you all.

    Today, Turkey has agreed to allow U.S. planes to launch air strikes against Islamic State militants from the U.S. air base at Incirlik, close to the Syrian border. This comes one day after a phone call from Obama to Erdogan.

    Also, IS announced today that the Turkish army started an operation inside Syria in their areas, north of Aleppo. According to IS sources, the clashes resulted so far in killing one Turkish officer and injuring another one. On the other hand, Turkish sources say that clashes started after IS shot toward a Turkish town killed one Turkish officer. It is not clear who is right in this yet.

    The borders between Turkey and the Syrian part controlled by IS is very small relatively, so I do not think this operation will succeed in making any change on ground.

    Not as simple as that. Most of IS areas have no borders with Turkey. He can take the northern part of Aleppo, but that will be it.

    They're losing a major supply line, the only reason they've been able to hold on to Kobane has been an open landline to Turkey. Finally Turkey did one thing right, now they just need to hand the territory over the the kurds after IS have been beaten :sarcasm:

    That will not happen. Turkey handing over a territory to Kurds now is just like a person shooting his two legs. New elections will take place very soon in Turkey. If Erdogan gives anything to Kurds, the extremist nationals will increase their popularity definitely as they are by default anti-Kurds.
