WHO EXACTLY IS TURKEY'S ENEMY?



Sometimes in life, mirrors tend to become the most important piece of furniture in the home This is because at such moment  it helps certain individuals to come face to face with who the enemy is. Prior to the failed coup attempt in Turkey, the war in Iraq and Syria did not seem to be a priority to Turkey. In fact Turkish elements were once accused of buying crude oil from the ISIS rebels. The allegation was not substantiated but the reluctance of Turkey to squarely bomb ISIS looked odd. After the coup attempt however, it has been reported that Turkish government asked United States to stop shielding a coup plotter residing in States. They also asked Nigeria never to allow Billions of dollars  meant for coup to cross through their banks. In the same swat Turkey has become very active in the war against terrorists. They have bombed ISIS positions, free Syrian army positions and Kurdish army positions. It is true that life is cheap in middle East  but nobody knows why Turkey should be bombing Kurdish fighters who are pushing back ISIS and at the same time Bombing ISIS positions. In my assessment, any leader who begins to see so many enemies and few friends should quickly find a mirror and a quiet room in order to consult the best oracle.
