Officials from the Syrian pro-Kurdish Democratic Union Party (PYD) have claimed that Turkey ignores illegal border crossings conducted by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant 
(ISIL) in order to attack Syria’s Kurdish-populated Rojava region.
According to Turkish media reports, Abdulsalam Ahmad — co-chairman of the PYD-led People’s Council of Western Kurdistan (PCWK) — has claimed that not only some villages in Rojava but also some Turkish villages close to the Turkey-Syria border are under ISIL’s sway and are used for medical treatment for the group’s militants who attack Rojava.
The clashes with Kurdish groups have increased since ISIL — which now calls itself the Islamic State — seized territories straddling Syria and neighboring Iraq and declared a self-styled Islamic caliphate. Most of the land was seized in June during a push across Iraq.
The PYD executive council member Bashira Darwis said in remarks to media outlets that there are many groups fighting with ISIL against Kurdish militants in Syria and that Turkey ignores the fact that these groups illegally cross through Turkish territory.
He noted that many ISIL members killed in Rojava had Turkish identity cards and further claimed that they are professional fighters with military training. Darwish also said there are fighters from the UK, Germany and many other countries.
In remarks to the Taraf daily, Darwis said that ISIL and other similar groups kill children, the elderly and the unarmed, rather than only combatants. “This is a strategic massacre. The main aim of those groups is to fight against Kurdish people, since none of them are fighting against the [Assad] regime,” she said, adding that many Kurdish people have been forced to flee.
In addition to the claims that Turkey supports ISIL by providing medical treatment to fighters, many police officers from elite units are said to be fighting with the terrorist group.
In addition, some Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) members and sympathizers in Turkey are reported to have crossed into Syria to join the People’s Protection Units (YPG) — a Kurdish militia based in Syria — to support the YPG against ISIL, the Cihan news agency reported on Sunday.
According to the report, when ISIL insurgents attacked the Kurdish-populated Syrian town of Ain al-Arab — known as Kobani in Kurdish and strategically located on the border with Turkey — with heavy weaponry last week, PKK leader Abdullah Öcalan and PKK operatives in the Kandil Mountains in northern Iraq called on Kurds to join the YPG.
