The code name of the setup: ISIS

While Turkey is busy with its own election process, the timing of events unfolding in Syria shows that it is closely related to this preoccupation of Turkey. The distribution of parliament resulting from the election gives the impression that forming a government will not happen soon. This has those who have designs on Turkey rubbing their hands.
It was openly written in the Israeli press that politicians "will have no peace as long as the AK Parti is in power in Turkey."
Since it is assumed that a decision weakness will arise in Turkey, they do not hide at all how much the new situation delights them. The Italian press wrote with great joy the headline that the Saladin of the new millennium had been stopped, and thus revealed what the AK Parti and Recep Tayyip Erdoğan mean to them. It is also most clearly understood that what they actually hate in both the AK Parti and Erdoğan is a Turkey that has found its own identity.
For now, let us say that their joy will stick in their throats. Because in the current situation, even if the AK Parti cannot be in power alone, it will still be present in the governments to be formed, and Turkey, with its rise and its independent and dignified stance, will continue to disturb them.
Meanwhile, on our Syrian border, under the support and guidance of US aircraft, a complete salvaging of goods from a fire is taking place. This state of haste lays bare in all its dimensions a cooperation that we already knew of and spoke of in the region but that was concealed. With the support the coalition forces have given with air strikes to the cat-and-mouse game that has been going on from the beginning between ISIS, the Assad regime and the PYD, all the details of the setup are beginning to emerge.
First, the PYD has from the start always worked in coordination with the Assad regime. Even in the short time it acted together with the Free Syrian Army, it never had a real clash with Assad's forces. That is why it never came face to face with the Assad regime.
As for ISIS, from the hour it emerged, the speed of its growth and strengthening showed that there was a great mind and direction behind it. But nothing it did was compatible, as it claimed, either with Islam or with the mind of a state working for itself. It began its work by destroying al-Qaeda, from which it said it had come, or by trying to subjugate it. Although it emerged in the ranks of the opposition, it has so far had no notable struggle against the Assad regime. On the contrary, its entire struggle has been against Assad's opponents, especially against the FSA.
ISIS took, one by one, many of the positions the FSA had barely managed to capture from the Assad regime. With the massacres it carried out in the places it captured, showing them off to the world, it gave great support to its own demonization process. The coalition (US) intervention that followed the demonization acts as if it is atoning, through ISIS, for its silence toward Assad, who in 4 years has caused the savage death of nearly 500 thousand people with chemical or conventional weapons and the deportation of more than ten million. Yet there is an open alliance between ISIS and Assad. If ISIS is being struck, it can be said that Assad is indirectly being struck as well. But the trick does not end here. Under the name of the struggle against ISIS, what is actually targeted and struck in the end is only the real regime opposition, that is, the FSA.
It is hard to say that ISIS is truly affected by the American bombardments.
The setup revealed with the Tel Abyad operation is ISIS making room for the PYD, which is currently under the control of Assad and the coalition forces. The setup works like this:
The PYD, heroized in the eyes of the US by fighting ISIS, which has been demonized to the utmost and which has itself given the necessary support to its own demonization, receives every kind of support. ISIS first attacks and captures, without any logic or need, the place the PYD is supposed to enter, and even plants its flag there. Perhaps after a few images of murders and massacres, the PYD forces are given the way with the air support of the coalition forces. The arrival of the PYD members and the departure of the ISIS militants from the area are one and the same.
It is a fact that in the places it captures the PYD is by no means behind ISIS in terror and savagery, but these can be easily made to be overlooked by the PR people carrying out the process of demonizing ISIS.
They play the same game in Iraq, giving the PYD's role to Iran-backed Shiite militias. There too, the Shiite militias they work with, just like the PYD, commit the most savage, most merciless and most inhuman massacres and rapes that human history could see. But all that they do can be overlooked for the sake of the struggle against ISIS. Among the terrorists, those who serve their own interests can easily be transformed into freedom or independence fighters.
In the end, an ethnic cleansing and a redesign of the region's geography is carried out through deportations and massacres. An important purpose of the design in the region is also to build a thick wall of isolation between Turkey and the Region. Perhaps thereby to cut off the path of Turkey, which they deem fit for the role of a Saladin.
