Turkey continues its foreign policy blunders
Turkey finds itself ever more isolated after making "frenemies" on all fronts.
Turkish authorities denied its citizens access to Wikipedia, and on the same day, US troops began to deploy along the Turkey-Syria border to prevent Turkey's military from attacking the Kurdish People's Protection Units (YPG), the main US ally in Syria against the Islamic State (IS). There is no correlation between the two developments, but the irony is there: Turkey is keeping the West out, just as the West is keeping Turkey in.
The Turkish air force on April 25 bombed the YPG general command, its Denge Rojava Radio premises and some other targets in northeastern Syria. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan asserted that Americans and a number of allies and partners of Turkey were given advance notice. It came out later that the United States was notified just 52 minutes before the bombing.
