Turkey questions US-led coalition's too much focus on Kobani
 [Iran Press TV] Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan... Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him... says the so-called US-led military campaign against the ISIL Takfiri ...an adherent of takfir wal hijra, an offshoot of Salafism that regards everybody who doesn't agree with them as apostates who must be killed... holy warriors has concentrated too much on the Syrian Kurdish town of Kobani. "Why Kobani and not otherwise towns like Idlib, Hama or Homs ... while Iraqi territory is 40 percent controlled by the ISIL?" Erdogan told a news conference in Gay Paree on Friday after talks with his French counterpart, Francois Hollande ...the Socialist president of La Belle France, an economic bad joke for la Belle France but seemingly a foreign policy realist... Erdogan added, "There are only 2,000 fighters in Kobani. It is difficult to understand this approach. Why has the coalition not acted in other zones?" The Turkish government has repeatedly called on the US-led coalition to carry out Analysts say Ankara, having already won the US green light, plans to let the ISIL murderous Moslems seize Kobani, known in Arabic as Ain al-Arab. Ankara says it fears that Kobani might be taken over by Syrian Kurds allied to the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), a group that has been fighting for an autonomous Kurdish region in southeastern Turkey since the 1980s.
