Turkey considers the PYD and its armed arm, the People's Protection Units (YPG), as terrorist groups due to their ties to the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK).
The Turkish Armed Forces, along with the FSA, launched “Operational Dega Olive” cross-border Africa to clear Kurdish Party elements from the border region.
Although CHP supports the operation, it has questioned the composition of the FSA, drawing reactions from senior government officials including Erdogan and Foreign Minister Mevluüt Cavuşoğlu. /Periscopi/
