Political scientist Prof. Dr. Dogu Ergil has said regarding
the crossing of the Peshmerga into Kobane through Turkey and the welcoming of
the Peshmerga by the Kurds on the streets, that Turkey is displeased by this;
it believes this Kurdish unity will turn into a demand for secession.
Ergil said "despite political differences among the
Kurds, there is a sense of unity and Kurdish solidarity. The maintenance of
this will depend on the developments in Syria and Iraq".
Ergil also said that the fact that the Kurds have come from
somewhere else to defend Kobane has given the message that the Kurds are
willing to defend themselves without the help of anyone.
Regarding Turkey's unhappiness of this emerging Kurdish
unity Ergil said:
"There is a belief that this emerging Kurdish unity
will finally lead to a demand for independence by the Kurds. This is why Turkey
is not too happy about this. Turkey also does not want their to be an
autonomous region outside of its borders. And even there is to be a Kurdish
autonomous region in Syria, it would like it to be under its control, in other
words close to the Erbil administration."
