A very good article I just read through. As it looks it had been published on August 23 in the German Daily 'Die Welt': "Die Türkei bekämpft den IS nicht".
Found on http://kurdishquestion.com, here some excerpts for not infringing copyright though I assume by coherence of mentality that this article is copy left :-).
And as I find that these days the 'right' extreme linear hierarchical half-brained way of thinking is definitely increasing just mentioning that 'left' is the much more complex inner-brain processing over both brain hemispheres.
The article is very well worth reading. Everything all background information states is constantly completely different to what e.g. news agencies like R***s or d*a are selling to main stream lemmings.
Have that in mind when making up your mind. I never ask to believe me and my views, I am asking to start to track yourself.
Happy tracking!

Erdogan's Plan Was Against the HDP and PKK, But The Trap Has Failed
25 August 2015
by Deniz Yücel
This interview with Cemil Bayik, Kurdistan Communities' Union (KCK) co-president, was conducted for German daily Die Welt
and published on August 23rd. It was republished in the Turkish daily
BirGun and translated from the Turkish into English to be published on
Kurdish Question.
- Turkey began operations against ISIS and the PKK a month ago. Has ISIS got weaker since then?
Cemil Bayik (C.B.): ISIS had suffered heavy blows. One of the reasons behind Turkey’s attacks against the PKK is to defend ISIS. Turkey is not fighting against ISIS.
- Are they not fighting?
C.B.: Definitely not. Erdogan wants to be sovereign in the Middle East, he wants to be the caliph. ISIS is a part of the Sunni front against the Kurds and against Assad. And ISIS is not only a tool for Erdogan, they have an ideological closeness. The only thing is, there was a lot of pressure building on Turkey and they had to do something to save their reputation.
- But ISIS has just released a video threatening Turkey.
C.B.: In that video, ISIS is saying that Turkey has been surrounded by the PKK and the ‘Crusaders’. The AKP says almost exactly the same things. ISIS is protecting Erdogan and warning Turkey of the same enemies.
- Did the PKK suffer any blows?
C.B.: No. We took the necessary precautions. However, the war does affect us and our struggle against ISIS.
- Who ended the ceasefire?
C.B.: Erdogan did. This war did not start with the shooting of two police officers in Ceylanpinar. After the 5th of April they cut off all meetings with our leader Ocalan. Erdogan denied and rejected all the steps that had been previously taken: He said “There is no negotiation, no sides and no Kurdish question”. Then he thought that he could win the elections by raising tensions. He thought that the guerrillas would take revenge for the bombing of the HDP election rally in Diyarbakir. He was going to use this as an excuse to cancel the elections. But we never fell for that trick. In the elections the HDP ruined Erdogan’s dreams of becoming President and even managed to ensure the AKP couldn’t form the government on its own. They are now continuing their attacks as revenge for this.
- Did the PKK kill those police officers in Ceylanpinar?
C.B.: No. A group calling themselves “Apocu” (Apoists) did.
- But you never condemned the killings.
C.B.: To condemn those killings amongst all those attacks could have had bad results for us.
- But now have entered into a war.
C.B.: We have not entered into a war. We are only using our right to reprisal.
- There were scenes of war in some Kurdish towns such as Silvan.
C.B.: Civilians and the youth are trying to protect themselves from the attacks of the state. The state is attacking them will means at its disposal. This is why we warned the state: If you attack the people as you are doing, we will order the guerrillas to enter the towns to defend the people.
- Does this mean you will enter into war?
C.B.: If Turkey insists on these policies, then the guerrillas may enter into war. But this is not what we desire. Because we are aware that the main objective behind these attacks are to nullify the HDP project.
