Kurdish fighters in northern Syria accused the Turkish army of shelling their positions on Monday July 27, highlighting the precarious path Ankara is treading as it simultaneously battles Islamic State in Syria and Kurdish insurgents in Iraq. The animosity shared between Turkish soldiers and Kurdish militants is not expected to end with peaceful settlements.
