​Forty cleavers or forty mules?

I guess this is the statement that explains our situation the best.


ISIL, which came out of nowhere, had rummaged through all the equilibriums.


Since the movement style of the organization also includes unexpected moves, when it showed up in front of our door, only a small time had passed.


It’s also obscure why it steered towards Sunni Kurdish and Arabic regions, rather than to its enemies.


Because of their attacks on Kobane and its surroundings, hundreds of thousands of people had swarmed to the Turkish border and, of course, we allowed them in.


Nobody should have a doubt; we will be allowing the ones that will come in the future.


Though, obviously this has to come to an end.


Who will put an end to this, how and when?


This puzzle had actually become easier to solve; under USA’s lead and with Western Countries’ and the Middle East’s great support, this coalition had been formed rapidly.


Because of the unpredictable results and the pace of the happenings in Turkey, Turkey was standing away from entering the coalition.


In the past week, suddenly, that distance and coldness had been replaced by statements like the natural country of the coalition. The news and remarks in the Western press, the news against us, the attempts to show us as partners with ISIL, the indirect statements of Western political spokesmen “you might be left alone” that implies “we will do what we have to do, if you don’t join now, you will have to face the consequences later on” with the “we need you” calls, had come up suddenly right before that.


Though, it’s still not completely over…. It’s continuing.


We still don’t know what kind of a perception will be joining the coalition forms in the region “tomorrow”.


ISIL’s possible attacks in Turkey are still waiting at the side as an extra threat on top of these.


On the other hand, Turkey, who knows how the country had disintegrated virtually after Saddam’s Iraq’s invasion, is a country who had suffered personally from the ethnical, religious and regional results of that for years. ISIL’s existence had also fallen right in the middle of the most important and biggest development about the matter of solving the Kurdish problem within.


While dealing with the hundreds of thousands of people, who had ran away from the places ISIL invaded, attacked and threatened, and their sheltering and harboring issues, the approach that is trying to impose the Resolution Process like a weapon is another nuisance.


Until we interfere in this problem actively like Westerners, Turkey, who is being accused of being an ISIL supporter, will continue to be taken under siege psychologically. USA’s sidestepping statements against Ankara’s, who is discussing whether to interfere or not, and, ultimately decided on being in the coalition with two demands like forming a “Safe Zone” and the declaration of a “No Fly Zone”, demand are confusing.


Today both motions will be presented in the Parliament. We can understand to some extent what we are thinking and what we are planning to do, even if not completely, from looking at those articles.


If there is no sudden and immediate development, then possibly after the voting on Thursday, we will start to encounter its de facto results following the Bayram.


It’s not possible to make out a course of events and their results.


Every clash, small or big, every armed operation, every war, includes bigger risks than what had been assumed.


In the end, when you are face to face with two options, which are problematic, finding a third path is the hardest but the best.


I’d like to say, “I hope we will find it”, but I’m afraid we are already late… everything is advancing quite swiftly.
