Here we explain how both armed groups are connected to each other.
A joint command structure
The YPG is officially the militant wing of the PYD, which is one of the underground parties in Syria established in 2003 under PKK directives. Most of the PYD’s founding members happen to be Syrian Kurds. The PYD has been part of the KCK, which is the umbrella organisation of all PKK groups across Turkey, Iraq, Iran, Syria and other countries since the official establishment of the group in May 2007 by the PKK leadership.
The PYD has also been part of the KKK, the predecessor organisation of the KCK, founded in 2005. Without Abdullah Ocalan’s theoretical frameworks, neither the KKK or KCK would exist today. The founder and leader of the PKK, Ocalan, based his understanding on the adaptation of Murray Bookchin’s democratic confederalism.
As a direct result, Ocalan has been the undisputed leader of the KCK and also all related PKK political groups including the PYD across the Middle East.
PYD and YPG leaders have repeatedly expressed that they recognise Ocalan as their leader, officiating their political position under the PKK.
