False flag or not, Turkey fails to exploit latest terrorist attack

If the Syrian Kurds were indeed responsible for the attack, there would be no point for YPG to deny it so quickly. Ankara appears to be extremely anxious to find a pretext for a ground invasion in Northern Syria, but not without the permission of the US and the NATO, because of the strong Russian military presence.

...

Although it cannot be verified whether the attack was a false flag or not, various Turkish regimes, in different periods, have a long "tradition" in such operations, in order to achieve specific goals. CIA-type false flags, designed by the regimes, had been occasionally coordinated with corresponding CIA operations during the first Cold War. Such an operation, was the bomb attack against Turkish consulate in Thessaloniki, which led to the pogroms against Greek minority on 6–7 September 1955 in Istanbul.

...

It appears that this time, at least for now, Turkey fails to exploit terrorist attacks in its soil, in order to extract the permission of the US and the NATO allies for a ground operation inside Syrian territories. The Russian presence is definitely a preventive factor, but it seems that the relations between the US and Turkey are not in their best shape, mostly because of the US strategy concerning the Kurdish issue.
