When PKK bombs start going all over Turkey again, Erodgan will only have himself to blame, but chaos and terrorism might be what he wants to shore up his government after losing the majority in the last election.
Could be. I have posted photos of millions of Turks in the streets opposing Erdogan's Islamism and Sharia Law plans.
As awful as Erdogan and the AK Party are nevertheless,
for those who do not know,
the enemy remains the PKK not the Iraqi Kurds. Read the article.
The PKK is a terrorist organization that's been at war with Turkey since the 1980s. Our own State Department has declared the PKK a terrorist organization.
The PKK teamed with Syrian Kurds to fight ISIS.
The PKK has been attacking Turks from their northern Iraq camps for years. The current Islamist government of Turkey, Erdogan's AK Party, is opposed by millions of Turks but Turkey's enemy has been the PKK since the 1980s.
The enemy is not Iraqi Kurds. Turkey does not want the PKK to establish another stronghold to launch attacks across Turkey's border with Syria.
From the article
Turkey's Kurdish militants have sought cover in neighboring northern Iraq where the presence of the PKK has long been tolerated in Iraqi Kurdish-ruled region. More fighters also crossed into the area from Turkey as part of the 2013 ceasefire.
Yet the PKK's relations with the autonomous Iraqi Kurdish authorities in Arbil have been beset by tensions, while Iraqi Kurds have expanded economic cooperation and relations with Turkey.
Erdogan has his “Reichstag Fire”.
