US President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that the PKK terror group, which has waged a decades-long terror campaign against Turkey were "probably" a bigger terror threat than Daesh, TRT World reports.
"The PKK, which is a part of the Kurds, as you know, is probably worse at terror and more of a terrorist threat in many ways than ISIS [Daesh]," Trump told a news conference at the White House.
"If you look at PKK, take a look at PKK, ISIS [Daesh] respects PKK. You know why? Because they're as tough or tougher than ISIS [Daesh]."
"We are making" the YPG/PKK "look like angels," he added.
In its more than 30-year terror campaign against Turkey, the PKK — listed as a terrorist organisation by Turkey, the US, and the European Union — has been responsible for the deaths of 40,000 people, including women, children and infants.
