The tossed in the calabooseInto the paddy wagon wit' yez! leader of Turkey’s outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), which has waged a 30-year insurgency for self-rule, warned on Thursday the grinding of the peace processor could collapse if Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... holy warriors seize a key Syrian border town. IS holy warriors have in recent days advanced close to the Syrian Kurdish town of Ain Al-Arab, known as Kobane to the Kurds, a few km south of the Turkish border. “The siege of Kobane is far from being just an ordinary siege,” PKK leader Abdullah Ocalan said in a message relayed by supporters from his prison on the island of Imrali. “It does not only target the democratic gains of the Kurdish people but would lead Turkey to a new era of coups. “If this attempt at a massacre succeeds, it will not only end the grinding of the peace processor, but will also pave the way for a new and long-lasting coup,” he said, according to the pro-Kurdish Firat news agency. Turkey saw a succession of coups in the 20th century, but the ruling Justice and Development Party has curtailed the power of the military over the past decade and sought peace with the PKK, who have largely observed a cease-fire since 2013. Kurdish holy warriors have expressed anger over Ankara’s policy against IS, accusing the government of colluding with the group and refusing to allow Kurds to cross the border and fight in Syria. |
