THE GAZIANTEP BOMB
Jamestown Analyst Wladimir van Wilgenburg Quoted by AP – Publication: Volume: 22.8.2012
Jamestown analyst Wladimir van Wilgenburg was quoted by AP in an article about a recent bomb attack in Turkey. AP quoted his analysis in an article published by Jamestown Foundation in which he said “The PKK cannot use the Syrian Kurdish areas as a launching pad against Turkey and only controls limited areas where Syrian security forces are still present to some degree. The PKK may aim to gain more legitimacy by playing a role in Syria but not to use their presence there against Turkey militarily.”
