The raging fire in Kobani (Ayn al-Arab) has unfortunately fallen into Turkey, sparking serious incidents across the country and in the southeastern Turkey particularly. Well, what is going on in Kobani and how did we get to this point? Since Kobani was attacked by Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS) militants, Turkey has come under the spotlight with the following questions: Will Ankara assist the Kurdish Democratic Union Party (PYD) troops fighting in Kobani? Will it allow the opening of a corridor that will carry the external military assistance to the PYD through its own territory? And will it embrace those coming from there? I need to start with the Kurds who fled the war and took refuge in Turkey for survival. Turkey did never hesitate about welcoming them, opened its border gates for those who were piled up on the Syrian side of the border and cares about them as best as it can. However, the PKK and PYD are expecting much more than this from Turkey and asking it to open a corridor, an idea which is also favored by the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG). However, Turkey stipulates the PYD to give up its ambition for autonomy, to support the Free Syrian Army (FSA) and to dissociate itself from Bashar Assad. Well, should Turkey give an unconditional support to the PYD to combat ISIS? Turkey is rather reluctant toward the idea of opening a corridor to arm the PYD, as it may pose risks against itself. This is firstly because the PYD is an affiliate of the PKK and this means helping an illegal structure. Secondly, Turkey cannot make sure whether the arms to be supplied to the PYD will be transferred to the PKK, which may use them against Turkey. This mistrust to the PKK has been triggered by the recent provocations and contrary statements of the PKK, without taking the reconciliation process into account. I understand Turkey's sensitivity about opening a corridor, but I think at the same time that it should support Kobani more via its discursive stance. "The people of Kobani are our brothers" said Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu; but Kurds wants to hear the sentence, "We will show no mercy for those who slaughter our Kurdish brothers in Kobani." The PKK, which has taken advantage of this, continues stirring up trouble. What is taking place in the streets stems from the fact that the PKK is acting with this motive which causes it to come face to face with Hezbollah once again. We should approach this hazardous situation prudently and avoid all kinds of provocation. Unfortunately, the media and opposition fail to behave with common sense and even turn such a delicate issue into a political tool. Fortunately, Turkey is no longer under the thumb of old status quo, and powerful enough to handle all challenges. Yet still, the actors that take part in the reconciliation process should immediately take action in order to establish trust between themselves and not to allow the soaring fire to spill over into Turkey.
