| [Ynet] A senior ally of German Chancellor Angela Merkel ...current chancellor of Germany. She was educated in East Germany when is was still run by commies, but in 1989 got involved with the growing democracy movement when the Berlin Wall fell. Merkel is sometimes referred to by Germans as Mom... has left open the possibility of arming the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) as part of efforts to defeat Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference.

Germany is sending weapons to Kurds in northern Iraq but Merkel has previously ruled out supporting the PKK, which has spent decades fighting for autonomy for Turkey's Kurds and is listed as a terrorist organization by the European Union ...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing... and the United States. Turkey, which has so far resisted pressure to join US-led efforts to fight IS |
