Since the PKK was founded on 27 November 1978 it has been involved in armed clashes with Turkish security forces. The full-scale insurgency, however, did not begin until 15 August 1984, when the PKK announced a Kurdish uprising.  The first insurgency lasted until 1 September 1999, when the PKK declared a unilateral cease-fire. The armed conflict was later resumed on 1 June 2004, when the PKK declared an end to its cease-fire.

Since summer 2011, the conflict has become increasingly violent with resumption of large-scale hostilities.  In 2013 the Turkish Government and the jailed PKK leader Abdullah Öcalan started a new process regarding the Kurdish question. On 21 March 2013, Öcalan announced the end of armed struggle and a ceasefire with peace talks. On July 25, 2015, The PKK finally cancelled their 2013 ceasefire after a year of tension due to various events when the Turks bombed their positions in Iraq, in the midst of their defense against ISIS.

Turkey's allies know it is playing a double game with its twin onslaught against Kurdish rebels and the Islamic State group, but are turning a blind eye to keep NATO's only Muslim member on side, analysts said.

The very public show of solidarity for Turkey's fight against "terrorism" at an emergency NATO meeting on Tuesday hid the discomfort some allies feel about President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's strategy.

Suspicions are swirling that Erdogan's sudden embrace of the US-led campaign against IS in Syria and Iraq simply provides the cover to pound Kurdish rebels, viewed in the West as a bulwark against the jihadists.

Western capitals had "massive mistrust" in the motives of Turkey, which under the authoritarian and Islamist-rooted Erdogan has been accused of turning a blind eye of its own to IS, said Ege Seckin, Turkey analyst at IHS Country Risk.

"The member states are fully aware that the Turkish priority is an attack on the Kurds -- to be more specific, the prevention of a contiguous Kurdish entity in northern Syria," Seckin told AFP.

It is all part of Obama's 30 year war and foreign policy failures.

turkey is being accused of bombing kurds instead of isis

That is because Turkey fears the Kurds more than ISIS!

After all the Kurds want to separate from Turkey to avoid more persecution from that nation!

kerry fixes iran......turkey breaks

Actually Iran fixed Kerry in the same way dogs get fixed!

Turkey has well been on its way toward breaking for some time now and Obama ignored the situation!

good thing mr. obama ain't a war monger so that invasion is off the table

Yes, Obama is a surrendercrat who lets our enemies win without a fight!

in spite of the armchair warrior propaganda blitz

As opposed to what?
