Turkey Climbs into a Well Holding onto America’s Rope
News:
Indicating to have distorted the game of those who want to draw Turkey into a war, Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu stated, “We will not enter into the war, nor stay outside the game”. “They (the West) wanted to put us into a war under the pretext of combating the ISIL, but we are pulling our army away from the war by providing the peshmerga transition”.
Comment:
With the support of the national and international media, Kobane has turned into a symbol. This symbol was used in a major operation as a tool to manipulate the perceptions. The justified resistance in Syria was renamed to civil war, while the brutal regime was replaced by ISIL. It seems as if Syria is made up of Kobane alone. Every newspaper, every television or writer, starts first with the words ISIL or Kobane. This is why the bombs thrown by America are welcomed by the PKK-HDP cohorts with the words “Biji Obama”, “Biji Amerika”, meaning “Long live Obama”, “Long live America”.
And those who formerly tried to defame the Syrian uprising by calling it “American-backed”, are now applauding this situation by saying: “What else should they do than calling Biji Obama”. Again this fierce mob grants itself the right to exercise all kinds of brutality against Islam, its symbols and pious Muslims through Kobane. Just as America fights Islam and Muslims under the pretext of ISIL; the PKK-HDP-YDP sympathizers fight the Muslims under the pretext of Kobane.
After some parliamentarians expressed their inconvenience about the peshmerga transition at the AKP’s 23rd Consultation and Evaluation meeting in Afyonkarahisar last weekend, Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu responded, “We will not enter into the war, nor stay outside the game”.
However, Turkey has already entered this war by passing the motion, by joining the crusade coalition, opening the corridor, training moderate groups with America, and allowing them to use its bases.
On the other side, it is true that “Turkey is not outside the game”. Because this game was written in Washington and almost forty countries were given their roles. And Turkey has expressed in New York through its most authoritative voice that it will fulfil its role. The Syrian resistance has disturbed the states in the region and the West to such an extent that Turkey even has started to aid those groups which it called terrorist organisations.
Erdogan says that “PYD is a terrorist group, just like the PKK” and criticizes America’s airdrop of ammunition support.
On the other hand, Turkey is opening the corridor and permits the passing of the heavily armed peshmerga to aid the PYD. I wonder if there is a difference between airdropping arms and supplying them over land? The only difference is in demanding Barzani to take over leadership instead of PYD.
The statement from the Syrian regime about the peshmerga entering Syria demonstrates the size of the international conspiracy. Syrian National Reconciliation Minister Ali Haydar: “We support every step taken for the destruction of ISIL. And the moving of the peshmerga to Kobane is a necessary step to eradicate ISIL”
So the Prime Minister’s “They wanted to put us into a war under the pretext of combating ISIL,” is nothing more than a big lie. On the contrary, the Turkish military is not wanted in any way in Syrian territory. Regarding this situation Kerry said, “Turkey is taking part in the coalition and helping in certain areas. But if there is something definite, no one, including the Kurds, Iraqis, Syrians and other groups wants the Turkish troops in Kobane”. Davutoglu, has exerted such a statement in order to block incoming reactions. The intention was to make the transition of the peshmerga accepted by pointing at the soldiers.
Overall, the government climbs into the well by holding on to America’s rope (Relying on false promises). This is not the first well that it climbs into, and it seems far away to be the last. The AKP government, by taking part in America’s crusade coalition against Islam, has laid open that it is no different from Iran and Russia. Moreover, according to the new Syria plan, in which Turkey participates, the problem of the brutal Assad regime was replaced by the “terror” problem.
