Isis abound, and Turkey is fairly mum on its response thereto. Isis has infiltrated the area of Turkey populated almost entirely by Kurds, who are ethnically different than Turks. Quite easily understood would be an ethnic group’s desire for self-determination and autonomy: Such is the wish of the Kurdish people, who have already been fighting a militant battle for independence from Turkey. 

Kurdish militants are fighting against Isis, and helping slow Isis’ further bombarding expansion. Were Turkey to aid the militants in their fight against Isis, Turkey risks providing further means to assist the Kurdish independence movement. 

In 2014, how are countries and states still able to get away with subjugating a minority group. How is Kurdistan not free? 

There’s oil in Kurdistan.  

Ergo, it will never be free.
