Reuters is very confused about the Middle East: it needs help

From Ali: the Angry Arab's chief correspondent in Turkey:
"According to Reuters, Turkish government backed Hezbollah movement has links with Lebanese Hezbollah:

 "Kurdish anger over Kobani has also revived long-standing grudges between the PKK sympathizers and Turkish Islamist groups that are linked to the Hezbollah movement in Lebanon and which now appear to be siding with Islamic State. "source

Ignorance at its best. Turkish Hezbollah movement was formed by Turkish intelligence against Kurdish national movement as a paramilitary force and ideologically have very very simple and differences with Hezbollah in Lebanon.

Hezbollah in Turkey, isn't Shiite but Shafii-Sunnite and politically supporting the 'revolution in Syria'. Dozens of its members were killed in Syria while they were fighting in the ranks of mainly Al-Qaeda linked groups. "
