thanks for being with us. within the past hour turkey's prime minister has confirmed its military has launched more airstrikes against isil in syria. it's also hitting areas in northern iraq, but the targets there belong to the kurdistan worker's party or the pkk. it's considered a terrorist organization by turkey. >> i have said that the massacre was an attack against turkey against democracy in turkey and against public order in turkey. isil was behind it, and they have been reacted to appropriately. there are some circles who wanted to create chaos in turkey and they were supported by the pkk. and their actions were targeting fundamental rights. mohammed jamjoom is following developments for us in killis on the border with syria. mohammed, it seems very clear that the turkish government is

bringing together both isil and the pkk as target did. >> reporter: airstrikes from turkey take off from basis in turkey but also in going after the pkk. in fact, we heard a short while ago that the prime minister called the president of iraqi kurdistan and told him that so long as the pkk continues attacks in turkey and on turkey

that these types of bombing raids will go on, turkley take any measures necessary to protect its borders. this is the rhetoric we have been hearing from so many turkish officials. they have aligned messages trying to create a narrative that what the turkish government is doing is protect. they have gone from to being involved in a two-pronged conflict. it's causetion tension in this area where allotted of the kurds we have spoken with say they are anning angry with the government. they do not thinktie did enough to con front i isil and that they put the kurds in this region at much more of after risk. rob. >> mohammed, why do you think that the turkish have picked this moment to take this action? >> this was a moment for turkey that was very complicated. you have president erduwan who

has been under a lot of political pressure to do more to confront isil not just by international governments buff people insidetie who were concerned isil had been penetrating turkey more deeply that there might be cells here what happened in the past week? on monday, you had 23 people killed natural suicide bombing on the border with syria. that was an attack that the kurdish government blamed clearly on isil. since then you have rising kurdish anger. on wednesday, you had the armed wing of the pkk, the out lied kurdistan party. they took responsibility for the killing of two turkish police officers whom they say helped isil who collaborated with isil in their attacks on kurds. if the situation is very complicated. there are a lot of variables, but because of all of this turkey has now decided they are going to go after the pkk as well as isil trying to present the government as doing much more to comebad bat what

government officials here have been calling terrorism, as prime minister said as president erduwan said. they are saying they are enhancing security measures with the the, with other coalition members. they know they have a problem here and they are trying to put the best face forward. it's really a very complicated situation on the ground here turkey had ahas a very porous border. the spillover has been getting worse and so the turks now feel they really have to do something, put the best face forward and show they are taking a strong line against threats to domestic security. >> mohammed jamjoon thank you very much. a former turkish parliament member and the kurdish coalition party jonesins us on the phone frommistalfrom istanbul istanbul. how are kurds going to react to this? >> well this was an unexpected

bombing because we think that this absolutely ambushing the peace process in turkey as well as a violation of cease-fire between turkish forces and pkk. one hand, turkey now turning to the coalition, international coalition against isis. since isis got occupied iraqi and the syrian cities should take turkish position and foreign policy because we think that turkey has an unofficial relation with isis and now isis policy turn to turkey.

turkey use people massacred bombing. why we are saying fighting turkey a lot. policy is down. and now they turn and change their policy. on the other hand time frame, they are attacking and finish the peace process within kurdish people. >> i want to ask you about the relationship that isil and the kurds have. there seems to be a perception by turkey that the two are inter connected, that they are lumped together. can you clarify for us what the dynamic of that relation is? >> well this is not true because there is only one in middle east in the ground that fighting and resisting including

pkk. pkk as a secular organization who never have any relation like isis. this is really very bad state. but everyone knows that turkish border is open for the isis militant attacks. isis injured militants, also get intie. this is not a secret. the turkish government i can say, which is not true. >> former turkish parliamentme and vice chairman of the kurdistan coalition party, thank you very much indeed. syria's president has
