What do you think will happen in northern Syria, will the Kurds connect Ifreen to Kobane in coordination with the Russians and the Syrian government, hence blocking the rebels/qaeda/isis from their turkish supply line? Click to expand...

Thats the question. It is sure to say that Turkey - at the moment - actively seeking escalation with the Kurds. Just ask yourself how many ISIS positions Turkey attacked and how many of the Kurdish. But in long term, a sort of special position for Kurdish areas is conceivable. This would have been impossible in the past because of the obstinate attitude of the Turkish Government. However, the active Russian involvement in the war may change that in the future. Because, after all, the economic relations between these two states are intact and still quite profitable. And nor Russia or Turkey are interested in a large scale - maybe even global - conflict. However, we also have to see how successful the newly formed "Syrian Democratic Force" is. My guess is that Turkey won't be happy seeing a coalition of insurgents and Kurdish fighters fighting against IS. Why should Kurds return the "oppositions" the areas they conquered?
