[Figaro]

Turkey has requested that the United States remove barriers regarding the purchase of oil coming from Iraqi Kurdistan, according to a report in the Financial Times on Thursday.
This is urgent: ISIS is now selling its oil, but the Kurds are not allowed to sell their oil,” an unnamed Turkish official told the Financial Times, claiming that the insurgent group formerly known as ISIS which now calls itself the "Islamic State" (IS) was selling oil to the Syrian government. There has also been speculation that smuggled oil from IS is making its way into Turkey and being sold at rates significantly under the market price
US refiner Axeon declined to purchase a shipment of Kurdish oil due to the controversy surrounding the oil, according to the report.
And what kind of reasons to bomb IS for the Kurds?

And what kind of reasons to bomb IS for the Kurds?

The Turks have been trying to fight off their own Kurds from asking for independence for decades, why are they being so chummy chummy now? Are they really that afraid of ISIS to bolster kurds in Iraq, who want nothing more than to join with Kurds in Turkey?
