Turkish 'NO ISIS SEEN' safe Zone - Is Islamic State finding refuge in Turkey?


Turkish 'NO ISIS SEEN' safe Zone - Is Islamic State finding refuge in Turkey? (AlMonitor).

On top of the water tower you can see the IS flag. According to refugees from Kobani, the Syrian side of the border, from Mursitpinar to Akcakale, is under the control of IS.

Those who constantly watch the border from Caykara insist that IS had attacked YPG from the rear by crossing the border from Turkey. For them, the lack of intervention by the Turkish military tasked with border security is a sign that Turkey prefers to have IS control the border crossing.

But even more worrying are the allegations that IS people have been freely entering abandoned houses on the Turkish side. There is no need to elaborate what kind of security fears this causes in the region and how it amplifies the distrust felt for security forces. Contradictory statements by senior civil servants and their ignoring of eyewitness accounts only intensify people's lack of confidence.

As much as it is important to provide a full and clear explanation of the attack at the Mursitpinar crossing, it's vital to give proper responses to claims that IS militants are freely entering and leaving Mursitpinar and its fringes. Hmmm.....Yup All is quiet at the Turkish front.....nothing to see move along. Read the full story here.
