By al jazeeras correspondent. Reporter we are standing in the western neighbourhoods. They represent a springboard from which Kurdish Forces are fending off the i. S. I. L. Attacks. They have a firm grip on areas to the east. To the right are the northern neighbourhoods, where the higher regions can be seen. On the rinls, turkish army and forces positioned.

That is frust traiting turkish president s recep tayyip erdogan, who said there has been. Much focus on what is happening there. I want to stress one important thing about kobane. Why kobane. Why not other towns. Why not even others, iraqi territory, 40 of which was occupied by i. S. I. S. Why are we not for intervention in these areas, and only in kobane. Jamal is on the turkeysyrian boarder, a few kilometres west of kobane. Lets talk about the reinforcement of the soldiers of the troops, and the weapons. How much of a difference will they make to the fight against i. S. I. L. . Well, time will tell. Whilst they have crossed over, they have not engaged in the fight.

The information coming so far is there hasnt been a major change in terms of territory held by either sigh. Time will tell. Earlier on we heard from turkeys president recep tayyip erdogan. Hoe is questioning the military focus on kobane. What do you make of his statement . Well, in terms of the turkish public here, theres skeptisism towards the issues surrounding kobane. There is confusion as to why much is made about the small town behind me, when the world witnessed several maskers by the syrian government, behind syria, including homs and hamas. It led to over 200,000 people killed. Theres questions as to why there hasnt been an International Led coalition to combat iraq, in which the country is threatening to disseminate into fragments because of the fact that i. S. I. L. Fighters take a large part. There is a lot of support for the turkish government stance, particularly as many in the public dont want the country to be dragged into a war. The bottom line is that the town behind me is on the border with turkey. Refugees that come from here come from turkey, and turkey will be effective one way for another. Whether it likes it or not. Theres a need for the turkish government to find a sol ugs use. The question is what solution is it. It rejects the y. P. G. Group, because its considered a terrorist organization. They are trying to find a third way to solve the issue. Until it continues, or one side wins the battle for the town, the conundrum forced between a rock and a hard place will continue. Its a difficult decision for turkey to make. Thank awe jamal elshayyal. Elsewhere in syria, the Opposition Group al nusra front says it has taken control of a town from a rival rebel faction.
