There was no immediate official confirmation of the airstrikes reported by the state-run TRT television and other media. If confirmed, it would be the first time Turkey has struck Kurds in northern Iraq since a peace deal was announced in 2013 between Ankara and the rebel group, the Kurdistan Workers' Party, or PKK.
The private Dogan news agency said the Turkish jets were targeting PKK training facilities, shelters and anti-aircraft batteries in northern Iraq.
Tensions have flared with Kurds in recent days after an IS suicide bombing in the southeastern Turkish city of Suruc on Monday killed 32 people. Kurdish groups blame the Turkish government for not combatting IS.
On Wednesday, the PKK claimed responsibility for the killing of two Turkish policemen near the Kurdish majority city of Sanliurfa, near the Syrian border.

So true. And the Turks probably called ISIS ahead of time and warned them like His Arrogance does.
Turkey is no longer an ally. We should give Turkey to the Kurds.
Excellent suggestion. Except that I would return Istanbul Constantinople to the Greeks.
Definately.
The Greeks don’t want it...they are socialists and just want money.
The Kurds were complaining that Emperor Zero had not given them US weapons. So he decided to run those weapons through the Turks.
