Fifth confirmation, this time in the Guardian, that one of our allies -- Turkey -- is accused of choosing ISIS over its own population, the Kurds: Over the past weeks Turkey has come under heavy criticism for not opening its borders to military aid for Kurdish forces in Kobani. Though Ankara allowed refugees from the Kurdish Syrian district to enter Turkey, no fighters were allowed to leave for Syria through Turkish border posts, and government officials have repeatedly stated that Isis and the PKK were “one and the same”. Many Kurds in Turkey perceive this unwillingness to help the PYD in Kobani as an indirect admission that in a choice between Isis and the PKK, Ankara would choose the former. At least 38 people were killed during violent clashes between Kurdish factions and security forces in several cities in the predominantly Kurdish south-east last week.theguardian/world/2014/oct/13/turkey-denies-agreement-open-air-bases-us-isis
