Is it certain Turkey is supporting ISIS?

Wounded ISIS leaders are recuperating in Turkish hospitals. ISIS has hit all the Muslim holly sites except the ones holly to Turks. It would be impossible for ISIS to get the weapons and logistics it has without support or at least a blind eye from Turkey.

I suspect Turkey thinks they’re controlling ISIS. But ISIS is like Frankenstein’s monster, except not as charming and innocent.

Mygosh, if that's the case it's almost inevitable the Kurds in Iraq will end up in Turkey supporting the Kurds there. So what would happen then? Turkey would be fighting with ISIS, against the Kurds in Iraq, Turkey and Syria? The US would have obligations to Turkey and to the Kurds.

That would get too weird.

What I have read Turkey is really concerned with ISIS and were prepared to launch their own air strikes if we did not. ISIS at this moment are fighting theses forces listed bellow.
Syria
Iraq
US
Peshmerga (Iraqi Kurds)
PKK (Turkish Kurds)
YPG (Syrian Kurds)
Hezbollah
Iran
Al Nusra Front (Al Qaeda)
Free Syrian Army
Lebanon
Russia (pilots Iraqi AF)
They seem to make enemies in all directions.
