James Corbett says that a crackdown on the PKK in Kurdistan region has been instigated by Turkey to soften resistance for launching Free Syrian army rebels into Syria.

Turkish police have clashed with hundreds of Kurdish protesters in a south eastern province in Kurdistan territory after police interrupted a funeral with water cannons and stun grenades as part of Erdogan’s crackdown on PKK militants in the region.

Press TV interviews Mr. James Corbett, Editor of corbettreport.com about this issue.
