Turkey–ISIL conflict

The Turkish military on July 26 launched new air strikes on Kurdish militants in northern Iraq as Ankara invoked an article of NATO to call a meeting of the military alliance over its campaign against the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) and the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL).
 

Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davuto?lu said the military operations against Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) targets in Syria and the Kurdistan Workers? Party (PKK) in Iraq on July 23 and 24 have ?changed the regional game.?

Turkey supposedly gave up its reluctance to fight against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) and joined the anti-ISIL coalition, but in reality, the Turkish government started military operations against both ISIL and the Kurdistan Workers? Party (PKK) at the same time. 

German Chancellor Angela Merkel on July 26 urged Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davuto?lu to stick with the Kurdish peace process despite escalating violence, her office said.

The outlawed Kurdistan Workers? Party (PKK) has said the ceasefire between it and the Turkish government has ?lost its meaning? after the Turkish army?s airstrikes against PKK camps in northern Iraq, which began on July 24. 

More than 600 suspects have been detained in anti-terror police operations against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) and the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) as Turkish security forces launched a series of vast anti-terror operations in multiple provinces across Turkey on July 24.

The United States condemns recent attacks by the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) militants in Turkey, a senior U.S. diplomat said on Twitter, adding there was "no connection" between Turkey's strikes against the PKK and a deal to intesify the fight against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL).

A car bomb attack killed two Turkish soldiers and injured four in the Kurdish-dominated southeast of the country, after separatist rebels warned they would no longer observe a truce after Ankara's air strikes on their positions in Iraq, officials said July 26.

Has the Iraqi Kurdish leader expressed "solidarity" or "displeasure" during a phone conversation with Turkey's Prime Minister for Turkish airstrikes in northern Iraq? The two leaders have released contradictory statements.
