I used to have a Turkish night manager at UPS. He looked very Western in his eyes were blue and his hair was almost blonde. He told me 6 years ago that the provinces that are on the northwest Syrian border with turkey are the kin of the Turks. This was part of the old Turkish Ottoman Empire 120 years ago. Turkey has a family relation with those provinces. It's kind of like comparing the border between Pakistan and Afghanistan. The tribe is cut in half for the clan is cut in half only divided by the border of each side. I can see where turkey has a vested interest in this area
