Trying to take down the Kurds, which have been asserting themselves more and more lately.
Look at how the british drew the borders to divide up the kurdish population and make it a minority in all 4 countries: http://news.bbcimg.co.uk/media/images/78409000/gif/_78409411_kurds_map624_kobane.gif
But they are trying to make their own country, Kurdistan. And if you look at the map, you can see why Turkey is not a fan of this idea.
