In his speech at a group meeting, Prime Minister Davutoğlu said that the YPG/ the PYD doesn't fight ISIS. “On the other hand”, he said, “the YPG/the PYG backstab those who fight Daesh”. He said: "The YPG/ the PYD has become Russia's mercenary. " Mr. Davutoğlu said that the protector of Kurds is Turkey and added: “Noone should attempt to exploit Kurds. The protecting state of the Kurds is the Turkish state. We don't consider the PYD and the YPG as Kurdish organizations. They are both terrorist organizations. The PYD and the YPG are a branch of the PKK." |
