US Senator Lindsey Graham, who is in Ankara, called the YPG the Syrian wing of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) terrorist group.

Axar.az reports citing Turkish media.

He said that the YPG is the political wing of the PKK, and there are facts proving this.

Commenting on the withdrawal of the US troops from Syria, Graham said that the early withdrawal of the US troops from Syria may lead to serious problems in the region.

He also said that the US should solve the problem that they once created for Turkey.

On Dec. 12, 2018, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said the Turkish Armed Forces will launch a new military operation in Syria against PYD/YPG.

Erdogan claimed there were US soldiers in the detachments of the terrorists in Syria.
