Yasin Börü was a 16-year-old Kurdish high school student who lived in Diyarbakır. He was working as a volunteer for a nongovernmental organization that was established to help the poor. On Oct. 7, he was thrown down from a roof and then his body was deliberately crushed with a car by the militias of the Patriotic Revolutionary Youth Movement (YDG-H), the armed urban wing of the PKK. His parents could hardly recognize him as his face was severely smashed. On Oct. 7 the Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP), which had been arguing for months that the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS) and the Justice and Development Party (AK Party) were the same, called on its supporters to take to the streets in support of Kobani on the pretext of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan statement that "ISIS and the PKK are the same for us." Börü was only one of the three dozen civilians who were killed by urban militias of the PKK within two days. Apart from Börü, PKK militias killed one of that nongovernmental organization's volunteers with a gun, cut one's throat like ISIS and crushed another's head with a stone. These were followed by clashes between pro-PKK Kurds and other Kurds, which resulted in the death of 38 people. At the same time, Cemal Bayık, one of the founders of the PKK, disclosed that they sent their armed forces to Turkey, rather than Kobani.So in such a bloodthirsty environment is it right to expect Turkey to refrain from struggling with the PKK, which targets Turkey's domestic peace? In parallel with all these developments, the reconciliation process is on fragile ground and the government has not given up completing the process. It is not within the bounds of possibility that the PKK, by spreading terror, can convince Ankara to help its Syrian affiliate the Democratic Union Party's (PYD) People's Protection Units (YPG) that fight in Syria. The PYD is considered a terrorist groups by Turkey, however, as Turkey prioritizes combating ISIS, it has allowed 554 YPG fighters to be treated in Turkish hospitals as well as tolerating hundreds of people joining YPG forces by passing through its border. Moreover, Turkey welcomed 182,000 refugees escaping from Kobani and its surrounding provinces in order to prevent a civilian massacre. Turkey approaches cautiously toward the idea of opening a corridor that will carry heavy weaponry to the YPG or allowing peshmerga troops into Kobani, as it is worried by the possibility that ISIS may target Turkey. For example, should ISIS attack the Tomb of Suleiman Shah, which lies on an official Turkish exclave protected by Turkish special troops in Syria, as a reprisal, we will have jumped into the already intricate war in Syria. Moreover, Turkey's heedful approach is highly understandable as it is a country that has the longest border with Iran and Syria. Furthermore, not only ISIS, but also Iran and Syria announced that they would take any military intervention in Syria as a declaration of war, while even a few people in the U.S are engrossed with the question of whether ISIS militants might cross the Mexican border.A number of articles published in foreign news outlets associate Turkey's attitude only with Kurdish hostility. Tim Arango's piece, "Turkey hits Kurds not ISIS, defying Washington," in The New York Times is a perfect example of this. If one looks at the article's title, they may think that Turkey targets YPG militants fighting in Syria. However, in reality, the Turkish Armed Forces (TSK) have recently targeted PKK positions in southeastern Turkey as they tried to raid a police station. The incident took place in Turkey, not in Kobani, and those who were shot were not the YPG fighters that combat ISIS, but PKK forces that fight against Turkey. And Turkey does not have to get permission from Washington to retaliate against attacks that threaten its own territorial integrity. Although similar manipulative efforts are on the rise, Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu's remark that they will not act by ignoring Turkey's security and interests is still prevailing. Those who prefer to support the terrorist PKK as it fights ISIS in a small town over Turkey should see that Turkey will not submit to this blackmailing.
