Syria: YPG/PKK fire on men fleeing forcible recruitment

AL-HASAKAH, Syria

YPG/PKK terrorists on Tuesday opened fire on young recruits fleeing the group's clutches in northeastern Syria.

YPG/PKK terrorists continue forcibly recruiting young men by separating them from their families in Deir ez-Zor and al-Hasakah provinces, where a large Arab population resides.

According to local sources, at least one person was injured when the terrorists tried to round up more than a dozen young men in the Qamishli city center in Al-Hasakah.

The terrorists regularly round up hundreds of young men in raids on houses and at checkpoints in the city centers. They also take them to training camps in Al-Hasakah province.

In its more than 30-year terror campaign against Turkey, the PKK -- listed as a terrorist organization by Turkey, the US, and EU -- has been responsible for the deaths of 40,000 people, including women, children, and infants. The YPG is PKK's Syrian offshoot.
