The Erdogan government is waiting. He wants as many Kurds dead as possible before he goes after ISIS. He will go after them, but he wants the Kurds dead and powerless, and this is the way he can do it without real blood on his hands.
Evidently Kobani contains an Ottoman relic that ISIS has threatened to destroy. If this happens, the Turks WILL move.
But only after enough Kurds are killed.
Mark my words, the Turks will finish the ISIS problem. That's why the US hasn't put real boots on the ground.
