The Kurds: Expendable Pawns in Iran, US, Turkey Mid-East Machinations The United States has trumpeted a July 23, 2015, agreement under which Turkey would, after years of refusal, allow the United States to use the strategically located Incirlik air base in operations against the Islamic State (IS). At the time of publication, no such U.S. strikes had yet been made. While Turkey has launched token strikes against the IS from Incerlik– a joint Turkish-U.S. base built by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers during the Cold War as part of NATO’s effort to counter the U.S.S.R.– Turkey has turned its planes, bombs, and guns primarily on Kurds, whom the Turks see as a perennial enemy, but who have been the most, perhaps the only, effective force fighting IS on the ground, protecting Kurdish towns across northern Syria and Iraq, and also guarding the Yezidi minority, who have suffered brutal attacks at the hands of the IS.
