Turkey: Istanbul hit by ‘suicide bomb’

[Bad Dog]

14. I don't think the PKK are picking a fight with Ankara as such.

The ceasefire broke down a long time ago. Erdogan sees the Kurds, not IS as the problem, and that's the nub of a lot of problems in the area. A pro Kurdish rally was bombed last year, although the finger pointed at IS suspicions remain that Erdogan supporters may have been behind it.

It's a real mess, and it suits IS, but until Erdogan addresses the very real issue of Kurdish autonomy it will keep happening.
