A little bit of selective wording on the part of Turkey. Seems they have no objection over them using the bases as a launch point for strikes against ISIS in Iraq. It is strikes in Syria they oppose. But that may be simply a diplomatic statement on Turkey's part as it seems we had planned to use other bases to launch the Syria strikes from.
Turkey has no problem striking Syria, but a serious problem striking ISIS.
At the moment I doubt if Turkey has any concern if it fires on ISIS, Rebel forces or Government forces. They are going to shoot at whoever shoots at them.

Turkey seems to be playing both sides of the coin.

Six Patriot missile batteries are now operating under NATO command and control in southern Turkey. The Alliance rapidly deployed these assets in order to augment Turkey's air defence capabilities to defend the population and territory of Turkey.
It's hard to say who is funding, or backing, ISIS, but someone is behind it, and maybe more than we think.
ISIS is probably the wealthiest Terrorist group to ever exist. Their current wealth is estimated to be 2 billion dollars and an estimated daily income of 2.5 Million. Virtually all of it stolen from Iraqi banks, businesses, individuals and from bootleg sales of Iraqi oil
At the rate ISIS is stealing money and selling bootleg oil Qatar might ask them for financial assistance.
Keep in mind just prior to this, China signed the largest oil lease deal in history with Iraq. those billions will end up in the hands of ISIS if they can get the oil to China, which they seem to be doing.
Some of the bootleg oil seems to be reaching even American refineries.
while this one has a Kudish origin, ISIS could be doing the very same thing and getting by with it.
