Turkey intends to defend Kurds in Syria from IS.(Taz).
Turkey will do everything possible to protect the Syrian town of Kobani, settled by Kurds, from the IS (the Islamic State group) terrorist organization, Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said Oct. 3 in an interview with A Haber channel.
He said that under the recent changes in Turkish laws, the country’s armed forces are entitled to take part in military operations in other states.
Davutoglu also said the government intends to take the advantage of the mandate, which was earlier approved by Turkey’s parliament. Under the mandate, Turkish armed forces’ can take part in the military operations in Syria and Iraq.
Women in Turkey are against the move, as on Oct. 2 they staged a protest against the parliament's adoption of the mandate. More than 200 women blocked the traffic on the bridge, which connects the European and Asian side of Istanbul in protest against the mandate. Istanbul police detained 16 females during the protests.
Previously, the Turkish parliament gave permission for the armed forces’ participation in military operations abroad. Some 298 MPs, out of 396, voted for the mandate, while 98 voted against it.
Hmmm....Just as Stalin was watching the Warsaw uprising, is Erdogan watching the Kobane Kurds being slaughtered, both are rumored to be Georgian. The KEY WORD IS SYRIA !
