bro, why dont you send your troops then.

these kind of racists posts should not be allowed, this may allow other users to do the same.


bro, you don't seem to understand what racism is.

if this was on our border we wouldn't be sitting on our thumbs.



Turkey declared they will accept every role which coalition would give to itself and PKK rejected Turkish interfere, they said they will see it as occupation if Turkish troops comes to Kobane.. SO ?

I dont get it, why would not Germans send troops. They are getting along well with Kurdish people than us. There are many armies who can do the same job, yet, they dont have problems with PKK.

Why are you guys trying to put Turkish soldiers in a crossfire between PKK and IS. There is no guarantee that PKK will not start attacking to our troops. Why it must be Turkish soldiers i dont understand? Arent we protecting our Kurdish border? We do. Did not we shell Syria when they shelled Kurdish regions, we did. Did not we open our borders to citizens of Kobane? They are all here already, town is almost empty?

So bro, tell me a reason for a Nato country to support a terrorist organization who may attack later on Turkey, again.. Better stay "neutral".

"While the ISIS terror organization is causing turmoil in the Middle East, there has been ongoing PKK terror in my country for the last 32 years, and yet the world was never troubled by it. Why? Because this terror organization did not carry the name 'Islam.'"
speech made by Erdogan.

Remove islam bullshit, is not he right? Would you be caring this much guys? I dont think you were caring for us that much, while we were still a "good" Nato ally.

http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/five-people-including-two-police-officers-killed-in-two-turkish-cities.aspx?pageID=238&nID=72767&NewsCatID=509

police chief Atalay Ürker on Oct. 9 while he was inspecting businesses damaged during the protests against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), in which more than 20 people died two days ago. Ürker escaped the attack heavily injured, while two of his aides were killed.


> beg for help
> assassinate a police officer.

Try to look from our perspective, at least one time bro.

Eh, as distasteful as Turkey's conduct has been, it would probably be short-sighted to simply eject them from NATO. Turkey is strategically situated around Russia's nuts, so we best keep them around for the time being.

That said, the growing riff between Turkey and the rest of the West is becoming painfully obvious. Turkey may simply have to go. If Kobane falls and there is a massacre, Turkey is going to be blamed.

I don't want to eject Turkey from NATO. They serve a purpose.

Letting fighters cross the borders to join IS while letting the Kurds die and re-radicalising their own country?


We are not being religious, trust me.

And Germany is one of the biggest countries in Europe who holds plenty of PKK HQ's.

But i still want to be an ally with Germany. Relations can grow, if you come to a point where you mutually criticize each other to have a strong relationship.


You haven't tried looking from the Kurdish perspective once since you got here.

Turkey slaughtered over 3 million Christian innocence in WW1 and to this day denies it, what makes you think they will follow somebody else's perspective...

The Ottoman Turks were not today's Turks.

You gonna blame Italy for Julius Caeser starving Gauls (French) at Alesia?

And for the record, no one is demanding that the Turks assist or support the PKK. The only thing that the international community is interested in is preventing ISIS from slaughtering thousands of civilians.

Bro, i think this why and where we stuck. I dont know what media makes you that angry and think if turks dont interfere, there will be mass civilian killings. America is not hasty too, stating their primary objective is not Kobane but ISIS routes.



http://www.theguardian.com/world/video/2014/oct/09/john-kerry-kobani-syria-philip-hammond-isis-video?CMP=twt_gu
They are already all here, in Turkey.

Correct me if im wrong but there is no info about civilian killing in center Kobane despite IS is inside already? Anything from villages?

EDIT:

Teyrenbazên Azadiya Kurdistan:

Today is the time of our payback from who aim their guns to Kobane. From now on, all of the metropoles our radius of actions, our battlefields. Every policeman and soldier our primary target. Turkish metropoles wont sleep at ease while Kobane is burning down. Kurdish forces will carry the flames of Kobane to the enemy forces and metropoles will be hells.

Stop posting this fucking poem. He did not read this to fight against Europe, and its so fucking disgusting he is arrested because of reading that shit. You know what freedom and expression means? I am never a religious person, but he did read that poem to get vote from religious voters who clash with current militarist regime. Religion was almost banned in state those times, and religious people were under pressure. This is how fucking Erdogan rose, he used this for his campaign and a little bit liberal projects and TODAY. Even left minded people voted for him, were they crazy? He evolved something we all disgust but he does not represent whole TURKEY and whole NATION by himself.

We are not refusing going into syria just because he does not want to, because "WE" dont want to! Left minded people, liberals, right nationalists, right religious nationalists. NO ONE.

What did you do for Syria? I ask every fucking each of you. What did you do for Kurds? What did you do for the Kurds in Northern Iraq?

Turkey holds 2 millions of citizen from SYRIA.

> 2 MILLIONS.

And WE HAVE A TAX for helping them. They are paying nothing, but eating, wearing, also THEY HAVE RIGHT TO STUDY IN OUR SCHOOLS FOR FREE, i can list down thousand things like that. Even i made a charity to Syrians via foundations. HOW MANY YEARS PASSED and they are in Turkey? How many Syrians you have in your country? I posted an article couple of days ago Turkey became the THIRD country who donate most in the world after US and UK.


Are we your fucking slaves? Do we look like your puppets? Who are you to decide for us?

> Turks gonna provide free help for 2 MILLIONS syrians
> Turkey will also host 300.000 Kobane citizens
> Turkey will also go into Syria and fight against ISIS.

Why? Excuse me, why? Are you offering a united ground operation and we are refusing it? No. ONLY TURKEY.

And this becomes even funnier at this point.

> Iran threatens Turkey about military operation.
> Russia says they dont want bumper force.
> ESAD SAYS ANY FOREIGNER GROUND FORCE WILL BE CONSIDERED AS ENEMY

AND MOST IMPORTANTLY

PYD and PKK say THEY WILL CONSIDER ANY HELP FROM TURKISH TROOPS AS OCCUPATION.
PKK IS %100 AGAINST IT.

So KURDS dont want us. Syrians dont want us, other neighborhood nations DONT WANT US. What the fuck is wrong with you.

Do we force Germany to send troops? What makes you think that we should send troops? IS THERE ANY BINDING ORDER from NATO or UN or something only because we share border?

America would of course send troops. BECAUSE PKK WONT ATTACK THEM.
Germany also can send troops, BECAUSE PKK WONT ATTACK THEM.

But PKK can attack us.

PKK IS A WORLDWIDE RECOGNIZED TERRORIST GROUP. WE DONT TRUST THEM. AND WE HAVE REASON TO DONT. THEY ARE NO BETTER THAN ISIS.

I dont fucking care your personal opinions about PKK, if you are somehow thinking that they actually not terrorist because they have some support from kurds go kill yourself, then ISIS is not terrorist neither.

They killed our babies, they beheaded our TEACHERS, they burnt down schools, molotoved public transports and burnt civilians, THEY EVEN BEHEADED A KURDISH GUY 2 DAYS AGO.

What the fuck, wake up people. You are doing the same mistake. Trusting to a terrorist organization just because you have same enemy is not a good thing! You have experienced it before!

When i say this, you start talking about WE AS A NATION, TURKEY, also killed Kurdish people. So till today, why did not you put TURKEY into terrorist organizations LIST and REMOVE PKK. Because the times Turkey was hunting down KURDS ended SO LOOOONG AGO. 13 millions of KURDISH people vote for ERDOGAN, we are debating anything PKK want us to debate. Its like jews create a terrorist group and attack germany, and you support that organization somehow accusing germans with HITLER.

Turkey was your STAR country months ago with helping Syrians, read Angelina Jolie's statements, now media is showing us as evil people and you suddenly jump. Kobane is almost empty town, they are all in Turkey, current fight is not related with saving life of civilians. Please shut your mouth about that, its enough.

PKK is our enemy, its also YOUR ENEMY too. And PKK does not represent whole KURDISH PEOPLE but Iraqi government DOES. And we have strong relations with them.

If we were killing and humiliating whole KURDISH identity why would a Turkish party get 13-14 millions of vote from Kurds.

Will you BLUSH if PKK kills a civilian with your guns? Will you even care, oh wait, WERE YOU GIVING ANY FUCK at all about PKK and Kurdish till the day ISIS starts to kill them?

PKK are just fucking cave rats who rape, kill every civilian or soldier and very famous with their betrayals to peace processes, i did post so many things about THEM, massacres, executions, drug traffic ETC ETC. And your fucking VICE news show cutie PKK female fighters and you just JUMP.

EVEN TODAY THEY SHOT 18 YEARS OLD KID WITH SHOTGUN DURING "PROTEST" !
EVEN TODAY THEY ASSASSINATED A POLICE CHIEF, KILLING TWO !

KURDISH OPPOSITION PARTY DECLARED TODAY LEADER OF PKK OCALAN CALLS KURDISH PEOPLE NOT TO FIGHT WITH TURKISH SOLDIERS OR POLICE AND DONT COMMIT ANY ACT OF VIOLENCE AND SAYING THAT SOME PROVOCATEURS TRY TO CONVERT TURKEY INTO SYRIA.

This is coming from their leaders. Yet you blame Turkey, Turkey, Turkey. Your whole argument is about Turkey let a lot of IS members to pass through its border.

Where they were coming from? BELGIUM. GERMANY. FRANCE. How many country does it require to pass? And ill keep posting PKK HEAD QUARTERS in Germany whenever a German starts talking about Turkey let IS bullshit.

And your politicians have just started to debate they should remove PKK from terrorist organization list. THIS IS THE REAL SHAME. Consider Turkey trying to do the same for ISIS.

And i wont look from a PKK perspective. Im looking from Kurdish perspective every time, i must, this is why i support kurdish autonomy and i am enemy to turkic ide's. Stop associating Kurdish people with PKK.

Or spit it out, you are just an ignorant anti humanistic crap who support PKK just because you hate ISIS and Turkey both. Its not that hard. Dont hide behind an argument you cant even defend properly about Kobane. I always try to explain and express my opinions with FACTS, you guys show up and write "blatant propagandist" , arguing with Hammurabi was way more better than this.

If there is a massacre in Kobane, [the international community] will be responsible for it. You are the ones who made ISIL become a menace for these people. You can’t abandon the Kurds in Kobane, or the Turkmens, Arabs and Turks in Telafer,”
Kurdish Leader Demirtaş said.

Stop bombing and come down help, then blame Turkey. We are helping Syria and its people waaaaaay fucking more you do anyways. But you cant make us help to the terrorist organization that murdered 30.000 turkish soldiers. I hope they destroy themselves along with ISIS, i like their ideas about suicide bombings, NICE JOB. I dont care, and this make me a honored person!

PS: Moderation warned us about not to talk about Turkey, im just posting Kurdish - ISIS conflict in Turkey, but you guys are eager to discuss how bad Turkey is. Lets create another topic for that, or just LEAVE IT.

If you keep your distortion act like this, i will name this hypocrisy, you dont know about the difference between a Kurd and a PKK militant, please stay away from arguing mid-east topics. Every time i write so many things about Kurds and PKK, yet your answers are still same, i think you are not even reading anything.


So... YEAH KURDS YEAH. I ALWAYS WRITE HOW BAD KURDS ARE.

There are many countries who has not done anything about ISIS, including yours. Its only jet bombing lead by USA. Why dont you just focus on the fact that they are all avoiding ground operations? Turkey is doing everything coalition wants. At least read the tweets and the links above. Enough already.

I read everything you post when they are not turkish links or turkish videos. My country couldn't help even if they wanted, we have no decent army or weapons or anything of the sort to be able to carry such operations. The worst part of doing nothing is letting terrorists go into syria and give them weapons and as you pointed some pages ago the possibility of turkish intelligence giving assistance to isis. The turks could at least let some kurds go into kobani to help the YPG fight isis but they don't let them go trough.

This again has become the Turkey vs. Kurds thread. Okay, if the Kurds are allegedly so overwhelming of an issue, then why doesn't Turkey war against them and flatten Diyarbakir and Irbil and call it a day? Are the Turks wary of fighting against untrained, underequipped peshmerga?

But this thread is about war in Syria and Iraq, not a hypothetical Turkish-Kurdish war.

There are close to no civilians in Kobane and all are accepted by Turkey inside Turkish border.

I am pretty sure everyone ask Turkey to engage ISIS in some way or another. Turkey will always open borders for humanitarian purposes.

At least google "reuters" and follow the news from there.

I still have the same problem with overthrowing Assad as I did a year ago: Assad is a tremendous egomaniacal dick, and when push comes to shove, he probably hates "the west" even more than Khadafi did. On top of that, it's clear that he doesn't give a shti about his own citizens, as evidenced most recently by his use of chemical weapons in a populated area. However, he is STILL better than having
a) Isis rule Syria
b) Al- Nusra rule Syria
or c) a prolongation of the civil war in which, even after Assad is eliminated, Hezbollah, al-Nusra, Isis, the Kurds and all the other militant factions keep bombing each other into the stone age.

So while Erdogan may be hesitant and want the west to focus more on the long-term goal of overthrowing Assad, he might want to think himself about exactly what happens to Syria after Assad is removed?

"Except for one narrow entry and exit point, Mr de Mistura said Kobane was "literally surrounded" by IS, with hundreds of mainly elderly civilians still inside the city centre and another 10-13,000 gathered nearby, AFP reports.

He said the civilians would "most likely be massacred'' if the town fell to IS, warning that the UN did not want to see another Srebrenica - where thousands of Muslim men and boys were killed by Bosnian Serb forces in 1995 during the Bosnian conflict."

In which world are over 10k civilians "close to none"?

Compared to > 140k and the fact that close by most likely means they are at the border the town is mostly empty.
Dont hate on the Turkish guy, from my Swedish perspective he is completly in the right and media is starting to realize you cant take a piss on Nato allies for this situation.

I was amazed when kurds were painted as angels because of Isis. Perhaps this will turn out like Iraq where Isis seems to be the crucible which might finally get their army to get their shit together. The west needs to realize that power vacums needs to be filled and you cant just prop up useless or dangerous people and expect it to work.

Exactly, PKK is a terroist group and I can understand why Turkey don't want to risk them getting the hands on weapons from Syria.

But the Kurd civilians in Syria aren't all members of PKK, and claiming that they somehow deserve to die because of what some other Kurds did in Turkey is just wrong.

Of course they dont deserve to die, our borders are open. Why would you stay in the town when you can survive by walking only a km.

To be honest, i feel sorry for YPG too. They are not Pkk and they dont participate terrorist attacks of Pkk. (even thou they hug each other to celebrate killings)
But, being a soldier or army have these risks. They were also silent when ISIS was hitting hard FSR and TURKMENS. I remember their motto, if they attack, we will attack.


Turkey should help YPG. But how, this is a hard question, they play a strange role, their civilians want us, while they dont and hate us.. Both Pkk and YPG said they will consider ground forces as an occupation, this is not a warning, but a threat.

For the rest, bbc tweets and articles are enough to understand, no need to repost. I think finally we come to a point where we understand each other. Of course Turkeys role about arming ISIS is another case, how did they get those arsenal from TURKMENS and FSA. This is mindblowing.

I do, but this is not a thing we should decide. Syrians citizens should decide on that, not only the kurds both arabic people and of course even esads supporters. They pay taxes for those lands for years.

And the other hurting issue that, pkk has a claim over 5 turkish provinces which is nearly %30 of Turkey where millions of turks also live, and where millions of kurds who vote for unity live.

Lets say they will get a nation inside current Syria -does not trouble me at all- and they only want democratic autonomy in Turkey, which is also pretty accurute, problem is, will they stay calm in such situation? I do trust Iraqi Kurds, i dont like them much but they respect us and we have strong trade partnership, but Syrian Kurdistan will be ruled by "very left maoist" regime, PKK. And just check their final statements...

If Kobane falls, Ankara will fall.
Turkish cities wont sleep at ease while Kobane is burning.
If Kobane falls, peace is over.
If you act like this, there will be a soldier at your door, telling your son is dead.

I did not even change a single word while translating. And these are coming from Pkks both political and army forces, while their very beloved leader constantly trying to build a better future, but he loses ground dy bay dy since he becomes less kurdish nationalist.

What will keep them saying, IF YOU DONT GIVE 5 PROVINCES, WE ARE GONNA BLOW YOUR CITIES? Can you trust them, i want a sincere answer. They have always finished previous peace talks with mass civilian and soldier killings. When they bombed Taksim square, i was just 3 blocks away from that, in Istanbul...

Just make peace with them.. if they fail to uphold their part of the deal you can claim the moral ground and defeat their movement with your army. Just look at the palestinian issue and learn from it, if one of the parts won't concede a little bit there won't be peace.

I think its better to take the risk of helping the Kurds and save Kobani from Isis than having that blood on your hands .. they won't forget that.

This conflict seems to become more of a mess each passing day. I was actually hoping that Turkey would finally step up and somewhat stabilise the region - I have no doubts that the Turkish army could just swat ISIS like a fly if it really wanted to - but instead they got side-tracked into a Turkey-PKK non-debate. Uniting against a common threat could actually solve a lot of the animosity between the Turks an the Kurds, provided they make clear deals on what happens after the conflict is over and both stay true to their word.

In the meantime, ISIS continues its pillaging and massacring spree.
