YPG has strong ties to PKK, which is recognized as a terrorist organization by NATO and EU [1] [2].

I strongly dislike Erdogan and his policies, and certainly don't approve the attack but YPG is a different issue. It is sad that most outsiders' view about the Kurdish conflict boils down to 'Turkey hates Kurds'. It's just not like that. We should all unite against terrorism.

YPG and PKK are two different entities.
