According to the Turkish president, the country won't stop its attacks against Kurdish fighter posts in Syria.

Turkey will continue attacks on Kurdish fighter posts in Syria in return to alleged attacks by the Syrian Kurds, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Wednesday.

"Let no one think we will step back. We will respond many times to every shot from that side," Erdogan said.

Comment: Erdogan is providing significant artillery support to terrorist groups like ISIS and Al Nusra, thus slowing the Russian coalition's efforts to wipe them out of Syria completely.

Erdogan has a serious domestic policy problems when the Kurdish forces gain control in parts of Syria that the wannabe Sultan Erdogan regarded as sacred neo-Ottoman ground. His court jester, the Prime Minister Davutoglu, announced that his country would not allow the town of Azaz to fall to Kurdish fighters. He will have to eat a flock of crows over that.
