Turkey slammed the "Western idealization" of the YPG/PKK in Syria on Saturday, stressing how the terrorist group has kidnapped thousands of young people just in the last month.

"The YPG/PKK terrorist group kidnapped 2,700 young people in Syria's Al-Hasakah province in March alone," Presidential Spokesperson Ibrahim Kalın said on Twitter, adding that these unfortunate young people are taken so they will "become terrorists."

"So much for the Western idealization and romanticism of the PKK in Syria. Will their supporters say a word? Probably not, again," he added.

In January, the U.S.-backed YPG – the Syrian branch of the terrorist group PKK – forcibly recruited more than 150 young people from Deir ez-Zor in eastern Syria.

Documenting the violation of civilians' rights in a Feb. 18 report, the Syrian Network for Human Rights said that the terrorist group detained at least 61 teachers in January and February.

The report said the YPG/PKK was after nearly 550 teachers living in Deir ez-Zor, Raqqa and Al-Hasakah who refused to join the terrorist group.

Turkey has in particular decried the U.S. for supporting the YPG/PKK, purportedly to fight Daesh. Supporting one terrorist group to fight another makes no sense, Turkish officials argued.

In its more than 40-year terror campaign against Turkey, the PKK – listed as a terrorist organization by Turkey, the U.S. and the European Union – has been responsible for the deaths of 40,000 people, including women, children and infants. The YPG is the terrorist PKK's Syrian branch.
