#Syria ,Interesting: Why #Turkey is worried about the military operations against ISIS? (excerpt from an article by Yahya Bostan): There are three answers to this question. First of all, ISIS is holding 49 Turkish citizens from the Turkish consulate hostage and an operation against ISIS might endanger their lives. The second reason worrying Ankara is related to Turks doing business in Iraq as tens of thousands of Turks work in Iraq and such an operation might also make them targets for ISIS. Third, the coalition against ISIS doesnt produce basic solutions to the problems in the region. It doesnt address the causes that breed the chaos in the region. The operation against ISIS will probably minimize ISISs activities, but it will not put an end to the chaos in the region. There is no guarantee that other actors maintained by the chaos in the region will not target Turkey when the coalitions operation against ISIS ends.
