So, Turkey fears ISIS as well while believing that Zero will not stop them.

What is the possibility that this “strategy” is going to be the cover used to furher detabilize the situation Syria? That would be a major reason other countries would balk.

No. Turkey is now a quasi-jihadist state. Their action stems not from fear but from their support of ISIS — the Caliphate is to be headquartered in Turkey, doncha know.

...”Turkey fears ISIS”...

Not at all...they will likely join them publicly eventually. ..but they were not helpful in the Iraq war either...denied many requests and played hardball for even the least bit of help.

Correct, although they would never say so officially.

Secondary reason is that the Kurdish in Northern Iraq and Western Syria might incite the Kurdish in Southeast Turkey to do what should have been done post World War I : Form an independent Kurdish state.

FWIW, there is a Communist faction (PKK) among the Kurds, but the vast majority practice a sane brand of Islam.
