Turkey

The CIA has reportedly asked Turkey for the second time to track down the sources of Islamic State videos being posted from Turkey; so far the government has taken no action in response. A lawmaker asked Parliament about a recent report alleging that Turkey has sent some 2,000 trucks of weaponry to Syria between September 2012 and October 2014. Prime Minister Davutoğlu invited Hamas leader Khaled Mashaal to speak at the ruling AKP party’s annual convention in Konya. At least two people were killed in clashes between the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) and the Islamist group Turkish Hizbollah near the Syrian border.
