The article focuses on the question of whose side is Turkey on considering its response to the threat from the Islamist terrorist group Islamic State (IS). Topics discussed include the IS's attack on the the town of Kobane, Syria, the assumptions that Turkish leaders preferred IS as their neighbours than the Syrian Kurdish Democratic Union Party (PYD), and the transformation of Turkey's foreign policy which is the root cause of the tangle the faces in Iraq and Syria.
