In a September 9 video conference, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Iranian President Hassan Rouhani pledged to target Kurdish forces in joint military operations. Both countries agreed that the Kurdistan Worker’s Party (PKK) and its affiliates – especially the People’s Protection Units (YPG), an affiliate in Syria, and the Kurdistan Free Life Party (PJAK), an affiliate in Iran – pose significant threats to the security of their countries. The PKK has been recognized as a terrorist organization by Turkey, the US and the European Union.
