World Have Your Say comes live from Istanbul, Turkey. The country has become the preferred transit route for jihadists heading to the Middle East to fight for the militant Islamic State (IS) group. The US and the EU want Turkey to take more of an active role in tackling IS. However, for Turkey it鈥檚 a balancing game of policies, some of which come into conflict with each other. The border town of Kobane is besieged by Islamic State militants, while Kurdish fighters help locals to defend their city. Many western countries would like to see the Kurds better armed, but Turkey is hesitant. It is concerned about long-standing Kurdish demands to form their own state.

What do Turkish people think their government should be doing? How worried are they about the conflict in neighbouring Syria? World Have Your Say will be talking to a range of Turks, Kurds and Syrians in Istanbul.
