Som epeople think that there already is a country called Kurdistan but if you check on the World map there is not
The PKK's ideology is founded on revolutionary Marxism-Leninism and Kurdish nationalism. The PKK's goal has been to create an independent, socialist Kurdish state in Kurdistan; a geographical region that comprises parts of southeastern Turkey, northeastern Iraq, northeastern Syria and northwestern Iran, where the Kurdish population is the majority. This goal has now been moderated to claiming cultural and political rights for the ethnic Kurdish population in Turkey.
The PKK has fairly wide support among the Kurdish population in Turkey, and limited support in other parts of Kurdistan. It is listed as a terrorist organization internationally by a number of states and organizations, including the United States and the European Union.

What will it take for both Turkey and The Kurdistan Workers' Party to put their own differences aside just this once and really work together in the fight against ISIS?
Such a request is practically impossible. The PKK has a number of serious grievances against Turkish authorities and the attempts to resolve them diplomatically, such as Leyla Zana's BDP, have been consistently rebuffed by Turkish authorities and a number of those peaceful activists (at least 180) have been assassinated by Turkish authorities or their sympathizers. Turkey, conversely, sees the PKK as a threat to the unity of the Turkish Republic -- even a concession of autonomy under Turkish national authority (like Iraqi Kurdistan) is not welcome or acceptable. Since Turkey sees the PKK as an existential threat, because of the possibility that part of Turkey would break off and join the nascent Kurdistan, it prioritizes dealing with the PKK over dealing with Islamic State, which is a foreign threat.
