Turkey blames Syrian Kurds for Ankara blast, they deny responsibility, point to ISIS

Kurdish self-defense forces did not organize the attack in Ankara, Kurdish Democratic Union (PYD) chief Salih Muslim Muhammad told RIA Novosti.

“This is absolutely not true. Kurds have nothing to do with what happened in Ankara. What happened there is related to Turkey‘s fight with Islamic State [IS formerly ISIS/ISIL], whose members live in Turkey.”

He also denied claims that the armed YPG wing was firing into Turkey.

„I can assure you that not even one bullet is fired by the YPG into Turkey,“ Salih Muslim told Reuters. „They don‘t consider Turkey as an enemy.“
