Turkey towards a greater military commitment in the coalition against the caliphate

Despite the intentions of Turkey to stay away from the conflict against the caliphate, was offered humanitarian aid and logistical support, the advance of the Islamic state in Syrian territory on the border of Ankara, the Turkish military forces to intervene to prevent 'enlargement of the conflict. The first thing is to limit the immigration of the Kurdish population that escapes from the system of the caliphate. The influx is no longer sustainable, and also, Ankara fears the entry into its territory of Kurdish terrorists mixed with the fleeing population. In fact, Turkey has been hit by several missiles of the caliphate, which resulted in the deployment of armored vehicles and artillery on the border with Syria. The issue is complex, Turkey, for the time being does not want to get into foreign territory, formally of Damascus, but occupied by the militia of the caliphate, but the forces of the Islamic threaten the Kurdish town of Ayn el Arab and its eventual conquest may cause an exodus to Turkey difficult to manage. The city is practically surrounded ruled the northern part, which is precisely the one facing the country turkish. The forces defending the city center are equipped with small arms and fight against the armored vehicles of the caliphate. In Turkey, meanwhile, the debate about military intervention seems to move towards a change of the initial cautious attitude towards the alliance against the caliphate. The need to protect the territory turkish obliges the government of the country to a decision in favor of the use of its armed forces. The intention is also to create a buffer zone in Syrian territory, both on the ground, no-fly, where to host the Kurdish refugees, which according to some estimates, could reach 400,000 units in case of further advancing forces of the caliphate. This unexpected conflict is upsetting the balance of diplomats in the region, forcing you to fight side by side, the parties known enemy. If Turkey will intervene in the Syrian territory with a Kurdish majority, in fact, will also work in favor of the Kurds, with whom he fought a civil war, with the fraction of the Kurdish Party Fighter; the latter, on the other hand is thus performing an extremely important role in American strategy, engaging in combat to the ground. The entry in the field of Turkey would certainly welcome received from the USA, who have repeatedly stressed that the issue in Iraq is relatively easy to solve, while the main problems concern, exactly, Syria. A possible deployment of Turkey, a Sunni nation, with a moderate sectarian government, the conflict would give a precise connotation to the reasons of the alliance, including the political weight and influence that the country turkish plays in the Muslim world. However, disagreements with Ankara Saudi Arabia might compel the diplomacy of the White House to a patient work of mending between the two parties that are on opposite sides with respect to the Muslim Brotherhood. In any case, for a victory in Syria intake turkish would be essential, even if you need to evaluate what will be the counterparts that Ankara will require in the field of a possible military involvement. It should be remembered that the turkish army, the only Muslim in the Atlantic Alliance, is a well-armed force, with the help of the Americans themselves, and could be a decisive weapon for the final victory. The United States must also assess the impact on the Kurdish instances: the aspiration to an independent nation, as per the part of Iraq, is opposed by Turkey, which considers the creation of a Kurdish state a destabilizing factor for their territory claimed by the Kurds , which have been in past terrorist actions defined by Ankara. The United States will need to juggle these opposing forces, who despite fighting at the time in the same field, have opposing objectives, but both of which are critical to the success of the coalition.
