Answer is NO. We warned US about these groups two years ago and they ignored our warnings. If Turkey agreed on helping us Turkish army would be in Damascus today. But no US proved to be unreliable partner. We helped them in Korean war, in Afghanistan, Somali and other places and what do we get? Nothing.

If US wants Turkish help we want:
1. Ousting of Assad
2. No fly zone and bufferzone and balancing the Arabs, Kurds and Turkmens
3. Turkey will crack down on PYD and PKK
4. Oil resources will be linked to Ceyhan Pipeline

In return:
1. KRG will be protected
2. Iranian influenced will be ousted
3. Peace in the middle-east
4. Economic prosperity of the middle-east
5. Moderate islam gets promoted

The Turkish parliament's refusal to allow the United States to station troops on Turkish soil to open a second front against Iraq in 2003 challenged Turkey's old image as an American stooge and increased Turkey's credibility on the Arab street. The Turkish government does not want to deal a blow to its regional image by taking part in another Western-led military operation in a Muslim country.

-----------------------------

Considering a couple of Muslim countries are participating, its a good way for Turkey to provide logistics and support for the operation even if they don't directly get involving in combating ISIS.

If US listened to us, ISIS wouldn't exist today. Destabilization of Iraq in 2003 (and prior) is the result of this mess in that region.

I rather don't help an ally than be part of his mistake. Good allies listen to each other. They don't go start illegal wars and then expect their allies to put their own hand in the fire. You are not a good ally then.

Turks are cultural related to Uyghurs, I guess Xinjiang comes first, maybe then Kashmir

You're dealing for the rich with the misery of the have-nots. Shame on you Turks..

No because Isis is a Turkish military front. They won't destroy what they created. The world does not need turkey's help as it would be a liability to enlist the Turks.
