What is the role of Turkey in the fight against IS?

The head of the Caucasus Department of the CIS Institute, the director of the Center for Public Policy Research, Vladimir Yevseyev, talks about the role played by Turkey in the conflict with Islamic State. A coalition consisting of the United States, France, Jordan, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and the United Kingdom is conducting military operations in Syria and Iraq against a militant group known as Islamic State. For many years, Russia has been leading an active fight against international terrorism, not accepting a policy of double standards. The United States had previously ignored Moscow's proposals to cooperate in fighting terrorism in Syria, underestimating the threat posed by Islamic State. The militants had been supported during the regime change in Libya and similar attempts in Syria. Today, Russia is providing assistance and support to Iraq, Syria and other countries in the region in their fight against Islamic State.
