NATO sources have reported that the U.S. accepted to label the Democratic Union Party (PYD) and the People's Protection Units (YPG), groups which are affiliated with the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), as designated terrorist organizations in Brussels in June 2013.



The U.S. approved a NATO Strategic Intelligence document declaring the PYD, YPG, Kurdistan Communities Union (KCK) and PKK as terrorist organizations.



Ankara provided proof


Ankara proved to the NATO allies that the PYD and YPG were extensions of the PKK. Turkey, the EU, NATO and the U.S. recognize the PKK as a terrorist organization.



Turkey's efforts enabled NATO allies to also recognize the PKK's branches as terrorist organizations.



MC-160


The NATO Strategic Intelligence document, known as MC-160, presents a threat assessment.



After the progress of Daesh in 2014, Washington started to support the PYD and the YPG. The PYD is the Syrian branch of the PKK, a Turkish separatist group that has been fighting Ankara since 1984 and has been on the U.S. State Department's terrorism list since 1997.



Despite confirming that the PYD and YPG are terror groups, most NATO allies, and the U.S. in particular, has failed to take any precautions.



The U.S. is contradicting itself


Terror and security experts have agreed that if the U.S. signed a document declaring the PYD and YPG as terrorist organizations, than it is posing a serious security threat in the region by providing the PYD and YPG with warfare weapons and supplies.



“We can see from this Picture that the U.S. is contradicting itself for cyclical interests," experts said.



Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan indicated in the NATO-affiliated annual Center of Defense Excellence Against Terrorism annual publication that the PYD was linked to the PKK.



Ironically, the U.S. recognizes the PKK as a terrorist group, but supports the PKK-linked PYD.



Terrorism report of NATO allies


Despite agreeing that the PYD and YPG were terrorist organizations, most NATO allies have continued to support these groups.



The U.S. has sent cargo planes of warfare weapons and supplies. In October 2015, U.S. planes airdropped fifty tons of ammunition in one hundred discrete bundles. Approximately 50 U.S. Special Forces operatives arrived later that month to train and equip PYD terrorists.



French President François Hollande accepted the delegation of the PYD terrorist organization at the Elysee Palace. PYD Co-President Asiya Abdellah and Nassrin Abdalla, the PYD officer responsible for women and children, requested weapons and logistic support from Hollande.



Salih Muslim, the ringleader of the PYD terrorist organization, spoke in the British parliament.



Salih Muslim was also welcomed in German parliament, and was also allowed to address the European parliament.
