The PKK is designated as a terrorist organization by Turkey, the United States, the European Union, Australia and Japan. While the US-led coalition against Daesh in Syria supports YPG forces in the country.
Statement by the spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Mr. Hami Aksoy, in response to a question regarding the inclusion of the separatist ideology of the PKK / YPG in a high school history-geography textbook to be taught in France https: / /t.co/sj8Y27LjY6

“Opinions and warnings in Turkey’s previous statements – regarding France’s support for the terrorist organization, which threatens Turkey’s national security, and insisting on the mistake of equating Syrian Kurds with the PKK / YPG – are still valid, ”Foreign Ministry spokesman Hami Aksoy told me.
Aksoy said France’s attempts to build its foreign policy preferences on almost all issues based on its anti-Turkey rhetoric and while trying to distort historical truths and the law are worrying.
“It is obvious that this terrorist propaganda, resulting from the official policy of France, was initiated with the courage of those who welcome the so-called representatives of the terrorist organization to the presidential palace”, he added.
Last year, Turkish troops and the Syrian National Army (SNA) launched Operation Peace Spring against the YPG and Daesh in northern Syria.
