Turkish troops are continuing to shell Syrian Kurdish Democratic Union Party (PYD) positions in Syria’s Azaz district, located in the countryside north of Aleppo, Turkish security sources confirmed on Feb. 14.
The shelling was first reported on Feb. 13 night when Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu said the army had returned artillery fire after coming under attack by PYD forces based around Azaz in northern Syria. He had said the response was within Turkey’s rules of engagement.
According to the Turkish military, the Akcabağlar base in Turkey’s border province of Kilis was shelled on Feb. 13 by “PYD/PKK [the outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party]” forces.
On Feb. 14 the Turkish army continued to shell PYD positions, military sources said. Artillery fire could also be heard in Kilis.
Turkish military sources added that several Syrian Kurdish People’s Protection Units (YPG) positions had been destroyed and the militants also reportedly suffered casualties.
Azaz in Aleppo province has been the scene of recent heavy fighting and the YPG have advanced to Azaz, just six kilometers from the Turkish border.

Turkish artillery pounds Kurds in northern Syria. Will Russia react?
DEBKAfile February 13, 2016, 6:33 PM (IDT)
The Syrian war took a new turn Saturday, when Turkish artillery Saturday started pounding Syrian Kurdish Democratic Union Party (PYD) forces near the northern Syrian town of Aleppo. It started shortly after Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu threatened the same measures against the Syrian Kurds “as we took in Iraq and Qandil [against PKK strongholds].”
This week, PYD forces, with close Russian support, seized control of the Minagh air base near Aleppo from Islamist rebels. DEBKAfile: This was the first instance of Russian-Kurdish cooperation in the Syrian war.
The fall of the base deprived left Syrian rebels encircled in Aleppo of their supply routes by air, after the Syrian army and allies cut off their road links to Turkey. This steps were part of the Russian strategy for the capture of Aleppo, and Moscow will most likely retaliate for the Turkish artillery attack.

I dont think that the turkish leader would do what he does without a green light (or even the order) from the WH (and NATO)…..Sure the turkish leader shows signs of insanity for quite some time ( which goes for other leaders as well ) – but I doubt he would dare to attack the russians the way he did without the backing of the WH (and NATO). So , I guess in the end its the black man in the WH who ( as a muslim by his actions ) is fighting the infidel russians and their allies….
