The PKK killed one soldier on July 20 as well as two civilians and two police officers on the following day, and in response Turkey began bombing PKK headquarters on the Qandil Mountains in northern Iraq. Thus, the cease-fire that was ended by the PKK resulted in putting the reconciliation process into "cold storage" as President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said. Although both Erdoğan and Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu announced that operations would stop if the PKK withdrew from the country, the PKK has kept increasing its assaults since then. A total of 36 soldiers, police officers and civilians have lost their lives thus far, and the PKK has also suffered heavy losses, with nearly 300 militants killed.As a part of the U.S.-led anti-Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS) coalition since it was formed, Turkey has been training Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) peshmerga troops in northern Iraq and provides them with military equipment. It is known that with the objective of successfully repulsing the siege of Kobani, Turkey allowed peshmerga troops and heavy weapons from northern Iraq to cross its border to Syria to assist the People's Protection Units (YPG), the armed faction of the Democratic Union Party (PYD), and admitted civilians from Kobani into Turkey. Turkey also continues to treat more than 1,000 injured YPG militants in Turkish hospitals, although the group is still included in Turkey's terror list. That is why Turkey has been threatened by ISIS for a long time. Unfortunately, the suicide bombing that was carried out by ISIS in the southeastern town of Suruç on July 20, claiming the lives of 33 people, clearly indicates the final point that such threats can reach. Since this attack took place, Turkey has been more greatly engaged in the anti-ISIS coalition by opening the İncirlik Air Base for the U.S. When the PKK began attacking Turkey in an irrational manner and killing people with Turkey's decision to open the air base, Turkey was forced to fight on two fronts. Interestingly enough, a large majority of analyses published by foreign media outlets never mention that it was the PKK that waged war against Turkey first and that the PKK committed four suicide bomb attacks over the past month, one of which was conducted by a 16-year-old. I guess these analyses are done by specialists who know the PKK from the front covers of Marie Claire magazine. They maintain their efforts to present Turkey increasing the number of fronts to two as if it is an arbitrary decision by Erdoğan who is bored, rather than that Turkey does so in order to respond to attacks targeting it. Turkey is not only Erdoğan, and although the Justice and Development Party received nearly 41 percent of the vote in the June 7 elections, 85 percent of people support the fight against the PKK, as they consider it a task of the state, which is responsible for guaranteeing their right to life.For the first time over the past 40 years that have passed with fighting against the PKK, Erdoğan initiated a reconciliation process that lasted for two-and-a-half years in which historic steps were taken. The fact that 80 Peoples' Democratic Party's (HDP) entered Parliament was the clearest evidence that the process made room for politics and made weapons meaningless. Although the PKK promised after the call of its imprisoned leader Abdullah Öcalan in March 2013, it did not withdraw from Turkey.Sovereign states have to struggle with terrorist organizations that wage war against them and they do not give up this struggle because of a few headlines and analysis pieces. Therefore, anyone who wants the return to the path of peaceful dialogue should call on the PKK to remove its armed forces from Turkey, direct them to territories where ISIS prevails and intensify its struggle against ISIS. The realization of this is what is both reasonable and possible.
