there could have been a stronger Turkey if Syria didn't support pkk in the past against us, we can also say that. my personaI grudge against Assad left aside, I believe Turkey supported a moderate FSA back in the days for its own benefits, like kicking Russian base out of ME and having a friendly pro-Turkey anti-Iran sunni power at the helm, but later on Isil and what not joined the fray and everything went... Turkish govt should be careful, because things are not what they seem anymore, we should not fight a meaningless war isil or whatever. I wonder why you brand Isil as akp's soldiers, could you explain why?
