fighting in the ranks of PYD. The chain of command and the administra-
tors of both organizations are affiliated with Qandil. Both of them regard
Abdullah Ocalan, the founder of the PKK, as their leader. The first thing
the PYD militants do in the villages, towns, and cities they captured is
hand out Abdullah Ocalan posters and hang PKK flags.
Using different names depending on which region the PKK mili-
tants are in is merely a delusion tactic that is employed for purposes
such as misleading, and causing confusion in perception. Using virtu-
ally all the letters in the alphabet, the organization constantly comes up
with units, fractions and hierarchies under different names and abbrevi-
ations.

For example, the Iran branch of the PKK is called PJAK, the Syria
branch is called PYD, its army is called YPG, the women militants of this
army is called YPJ, the military arm of the PKK is called HPG, its youth
branch is called YDG-H, and its upper-structure is called KCK.
However, every single one of these is nothing but the extension of the
same terrorist organization, the PKK.
The article entitled “A Personal War: America’s Marxist Allies
Against ISIS”, written by Matt Bradly and Joe Parkinson, and published
on The Wall Street Journal internet site on July 24, 2015 tells how the
PKK and its extensions are actually the same terrorist organization:
The PKK says its affiliates—Syria’s YPG and groups called the PJAK in
Iran and the HPG in Iraq—are separate but closely linked. PKK fighters
and some analysts say they are one and the same.
“ “It’s all PKK but different branches,” Ms. Ruken [a PKK militant Zind
Ruken who was interviewed] said, … “Sometimes I’m a PKK, sometimes
I’m a PJAK, sometimes I’m a YPG. It doesn’t really matter. They are all
members of the PKK.”

Again in the same article, the fact that these organizations that are
extensions of the PKK are established by Abdullah Ocalan himself and
that they swore allegiance to him is stated as follows:
The Kurdish guerrilla groups pledge allegiance to Abdullah Ocalan, the
PKK chief imprisoned on a Turkish island since 1999. From jail in 2005, he
