Why can't the US call PYD a terror organization?

When the Syrian Democratic Union Party's (PYD) armed wing People's Protection Units (YPG) persisted on pushing Turkey's red lines in Azaz, Turkey took action from the border with limited intervention to prevent the new design planned in North Syria. As the severe clashes around Azaz continue, when Western countries like the US started to make statements on the intervention, Turkey's "While the US recognizes the PKK as a terrorist organization, why does it not recognize the PYD/ YPG as such?" debate was reignited. At the stage where the PYD and Syrian leader Bashar Assad's cooperation on the ground is nothing but obvious, it is now as clear as day that Russian war planes are working together with the PYD, which is attacking opposition and Arab villages having no Daesh presence, and the Assad regime, as it was reflected in the media as well yesterday, no longer seeing any harm in announcing they support the PYD, US President Barack Obama's administration is continuing to make "we don't see it that way" statements.
