Thats not exactly what I said.
Turkey was publicly pushed into invading Syria, something they wisely declined to do.
However allowing our "allies" to fund sectarian violence[1], from which the ISIS franchise grew seemed like a good compromise: Assad gets heat, and so does Kurdish nationalism.(PDP were starting to make real inroads in mainstream politics, so undermining them was a bonus, along with the right wingers) At the time it seemed like a good idea. "Islamism" eats it's self in the place where lots of the prophecies are based.
However, it didn't pan out like that.
[1]loosely the west and our oil rich friends, not just Turkey.
