Obama’s decision to aid Kobani puts him squarely at odds with Turkey’s Erdogan
ISTANBUL (MCT) — In airdropping weapons and ammunition to Kurdish defenders of a Syrian town, President Barack Obama
has embroiled the United States
all the more deeply in two different confrontations — one with the
Islamic State extremists and the
other with NATO ally Turkey.
That combination complicates
Obama’s prospect for success at
Kobani, even with a coalition of
more than 60 countries behind
him.
The main clash is with the
Islamic State, which has been
pouring reinforcements into the
Kobani area and shows no sign of
letting up. The U.S. response, 135
airstrikes through Sunday, hasn’t
secured the nearly-empty town,
and indeed on Sunday, the Islamic
extremists stepped up their battle,
raining rockets and mortars on the
Kurdish defenders.
Kobani desperately needs troop
reinforcements, but because the
Islamic State controls the Syrian
territory between Iraqi Kurdistan,
which might be willing to provide
them, and Kobani, there’s almost
no way to send in additional forces
except via Turkey.
And this is where Obama’s
second confrontation comes in —
with Turkey’s president, Recep
Tayyip Erdogan. The two now are
in flat disagreement over the fate
of the enclave, which lies directly
on the Syrian-Turkish border.
Ankara is willing to let it fall, and
Washington clearly isn’t.
The rulers of Kobani, the
Democratic Union Party or PYD,
are affiliated with the separatist
Kurdistan Worker’s Party or PKK,
which has waged a 30-year guerrilla war against the Turkish state.
Turkey, the United States and the
European Union all have labeled
the PKK as a terrorist organization.
So Erdogan has strong domestic
political reasons for not coming to
Kobani’s rescue.
“As far as we are concerned the
PKK is the equivalent of ISIS.
Therefore it is wrong to consider
them separately,” Erdogan said
early this month, referring to the
Islamic State by one of its alternative names. His remarks made
clear so long as the PKK affiliate
controls Kobani, Turkey would
provide no military assistance.
