Turkey’s role ****************** US Vice President Joe Biden met Turkish President in Istanbul in a bid to ease strains over the Syria crisis and persuade Turkey to step up its support for the coalition against IS militants. Washington is frustrated by the relatively limited role played by Turkey in the fight against IS fighters who have seized swathes of Iraq and Syria right up to the Turkish border. Meanwhile, Turkey in turn is upset that its contribution in hosting 1.6 million refugees from the Syrian conflict has gone relatively unrecognised and is wary of supporting the Kurdish fighters battling IS.
