The President of Turkey, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, was extremely furious over the recent statement by spokesperson of the US Department of State, John Kirby.

Kirby had stated that the US does not consider the People’s Protection Units (YPG) armed unit, which comprises Syrian Kurds, to be a terrorist organization.

“Hey, America! Are you with us? Or with the terrorist YPG?” Erdoğan said, according to Sözcü daily newspaper of Turkey. “Just as the PKK [i.e. the Kurdistan Workers’ Party] is a terrorist, so is the YPG a terrorist.”

Recep Tayyip Erdoğan added that he is saddened when Turkey’s allied countries assist the YPG of the Syrian Kurds.
