After the train-equip program was signed with the US and the moving of the Tomb of Suleyman Shah, now it is time for the Mosul operation against ISIS. Turkish authorities have been convinced into the operation recently and the US will lead the operation soon. Barzani and PKK are expected to take advantage the most from this operation.

The AKP’s decision to attend the operation is commented by the critics as a kind of a show-off now that the general elections are approaching in Turkey. Turkish Armed Forces are supposed to take direct action in the operation, as the head of Turkish General Staff Necdet Özel has confirmed recently that they have been negotiating for a time.
