TURKEY CONTINUES TO FIGHT BOTH ISLAMIC STATE AND KURDISH WORKERS PARTY

ARTICLE

Recip Tayyip Erdogan, the Turkish Prime Minister is a determined man today. Though the Islamic country was keeping a low profile until three weeks back in spite of US pleas to Turkey, it was keeping low profile. The sudden urge to pound both Islamic State, the hard core militant outfit and Kurdish Workers Party (PKK) was prompted by the killing of 30   Turkish citizens by the Islamic State (IS) militants. An enraged Turkish forces are pounding both the IS and PKK, the latter according to Turkey too are terrorists despite the frequent appeals by US to desist from attacking the followers of PKK is not in a mood to stop attacking them. Besides targeting IS militants and PKK (Kurdish Workers Party) Turkey has allowed US two bases in its soil to launch offensive against the terrorists.  From the day one since it started aiming IS and PKK, Turkey continues its war since it began striking the terrorists with the sole purpose of crushing the militants once and for all.

But the IS without ‘beating a retreat’ has sharpened  and expanded its operations with much more vigour and strength in spite of  suffering heavy losses of its loyalists who too were determined to take on the enemy countries inflicting widespread losses of life of innocent citizens. In other words resistance is feeding them with strength and more power.

NATO Secretary General and former Swedish Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg has called for a meeting of 28 NATO nations of which Turkey is also a member to chalk out future course of action which means Islamic State is poised to come under heavy bombardments in the coming days.

Accodring to IS expert Jessica Stern, mere bombardments are not sufficient to tackle IS forces. A number of educated youth from various nations, many of them holding high profile jobs are quitting their posts and flowing to join IS getting enarmoured by the ‘ideals’ of Islamic State thru social networking sites to fight against the enemies of the IS even by sacrificing their lives. They are provided with funds, free food and free accommodation. In order not to be taken aback by the loss of lives of many IS fighters women too volunteer to join IS and to compensate the decreasing number of fighters these women share beds with a lot of fighters and reproduce more and more children all for the cause of Islamic State.

According to the expert on IS mere aerial bombing won’t be sufficient and in addition to it more and more army men are to be deployed to fight against the IS militants.

In the meantime this terrorist hydra is spreading its tentacles across the world and more and more countries come under its attacks there by exerting their influence. Islamic State has set a deadline of 2020  by which all world should have to come under its rule and they are determined to achieve that goal.

Going by the way, we the observes of their deadly attacks in various countries whether it is possible to achieve their aim is a billion dollar question. If that be the case those who are bound to share the blame are (world’s) powerful nations. It is high time something drastic needed to be done t wipe out this menace from the face of earth on a war footing. It should be remembered that at present a number of militant outfits are ruling the roost across the world and in the not too distant future all these outfits are poised to come under the Islamic Sate militants. The result will be apocalypse and nothing else.
