The political arena in Turkey has changed from years ago. The moderate islamists that run Turkey today are not interested in military intervention .... only concerning the PKK in northern Iraq since they intervene in Turkeys internal security affairs. Though Turkish/Russian historical relations are tepid, Russia does not pose a threat at present.

I think Turkey will become a member of the EU simply because of the millions of Turks already work in Europe today.

Turkey’s main wall to becoming a part of the EU is the heavy Muslim influence in my opinion. There is still a distrust to the old bloods in Europe.

The Turks are watching this situation..as is the rest of the world, and especially the free countries form the old soviet block. We need to act. We need to call on friends and point out the disadvantages of this action being allowed. Turkey is VERY concerned about its borders with Iraq and the population there. There are more advantages to the Turks than just controlling the Kurds in the east IMO.
