The YPG/PYD is the group's Syrian branch.Erdogan also lamented how the cries of the oppressed continue to arise from various corners of the Islamic world."The Islamic world has been unable to carry out an effective and successful struggle to cope with crises taking place in most of its territories,” he said.
