Turkey seems unwilling to tolerate the situation in Syria any longer precisely because the creation of a PYD-controlled area across the southern border could create a long-term national security threat.

Since 2011, Turkey refused to act opportunistically in Syria unlike the Assad regime, Iran, Russia, the PYD and the United States. Today, the country's position remains the same.

Bullying Turkey through the proxy of regime forces and PYD militants won't make Ankara adopt an isolationist stance either. Integrating 3 million Sunni Arabs, after all, will only strengthen Turkey's ties with the Middle East.

Western actors especially should consider revising their positions on Syria and the refugee crisis before exerting pressure on Ankara, which has already taken in 2.7 million refugees and spent $9 billion for their care.

The fact that regional powers have been able to create a modest framework alone deserves some credit. They could, after all, help develop an Islamic language to discredit radical groups' terrorist agendas.

Turkey was extremely disturbed by the rough geopolitical game Putin was playing next to its borders with substantial potential consequences on its national security and the aggravation of refugee flows.

As the rotating president and host of the summit, Turkey has made giving a voice to developing countries and emerging markets its main priority on the agenda of its presidency and is looking to reform global governance to provide more inclusiveness in the market.

After five years of civil war, a huge influx of foreign fighters, and lots of sophisticated global power meddling, Syria is beginning to crystallize as the stage of the New Cold War between Putin's embattled Russia and Obama's ‘U.S. with a human face' on Turkey's doorsteps.

Turkey has approached both the Syrian civil war and the ISIS matter with its own national priorities and timing. The policy of the Obama administration paved the way for the PYD until recently. A PYD circle was nearly formed in northern Syria.

Assistant Professor Bayraklı said that the majority of the Kurdish population voted for the People’s Democratic Party (HDP) to back-up the peace process. But, the PKK misinterpreted the June 7 election results as a clear approval of their policies, and exploited the peace process.

Despite the tension between Turkey and PKK, Turkish foreign policy regarding the creation of a safe zone aims helping and protecting the Syrian Refugees.

Turkey wants to take violence and chaos away from its doors. For this, it supports initiated defensive attacks against the strongholds of both PYD and ISIL.

The fight against ISIS necessitates an agreement between Turkey and the international coalition to counteract ISIS and protect the countries bordering ISIS-controlled areas.

The anti-ISIS campaign has evolved into a chess game, played not only by Washington and Turkish officials, but also other regional actors involving a number of subsequent and contradictory moves.

Turkey wants regional players to establish a regional order in a peaceful and cooperative manner; it wants governments to reflect the sentiments of their citizens and end the conflicts in the region.
