YPG Is not Considered to be a Terrorist Group by US

At a press conference in Washington responding to a question on the gap between the Turkish and the US stance against the group, State Department Spokesperson John Kirby has announced, that the US does not consider the Peoples’ Protection Units (YPG), the armed wing of the Syrian Democratic Union Party (PYD), a terrorist organization, Hurriyet reports.


“We don’t consider the YPG a terrorist organization, and they have proven successful against ISIL inside Syria. And as I said, we’re going to continue to work with counter-ISIL fighters who are and can be successful against this group, and they’re not all Kurds,” Kirby said.
