The prime minister added: “I won’t give details now on where they come from and how they were organised, but we have all the information and will share it with all countries. I will give the order to the Foreign Ministry today to distribute all related documentation, giving priority to the P5 Security Council countries. We will show those who say the YPG is not a terrorist organisation. Then we expect to receive indisputable solidarity in return.”
He insisted that the faction is a terrorist group.
Last week, Turkey lashed out at the US for refusing to recognise the YPG’s political wing — the PYD Democratic Union Party — as an extremist organisation.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan insists the PYD is involved in the Ankara bombing, despite its denials.
“We are completely refuting that,” party leader Saleh Muslim told Reuters news agency.
He also denied claims the YPG was firing into Turkey.
“I can assure you that not even one bullet is fired by YPG into Turkey,” said Muslim. “They don’t consider Turkey as an enemy.”
He claims instead that Turkey is trying to escalate the fighting in northern Syria.
