I dont think Article 5 means defending aggressor.
I think the point is that between the Turks and the Kurds, only one side is our treaty-approved ally (hint: it is not the Kurds).

Sorry, but Turkey being a de jure member of NATO doesnt mean we;re obligated to protect them from adverse consequences of their unprovoked invasion of a neighboring country. I hope they and their Islamist Arab allies participating in the invasion get the piss kicked out of them. I hope the Russians bomb them mercilessly in Syria and bomb any attempts at reinforcements. Any Turkish flights over Syria should be shot from the sky.
