- Peoples_Protection_Units abstract "The People's Protection Units (or People's Defense Units) (Kurdish: Yekîneyên Parastina Gel, pronounced [jɑkinæjen pɑrɑstinɑ gæl], abbreviated as YPG) are the main armed service of the Kurdish Supreme Committee, the government of Syrian Kurdistan (Rojava). The YPG are primarily Kurdish, but also recruit Arabs, Turks and westerners, and there are Assyrian/Syriac Christian units integrated into its command structure (Sutoro and Syriac Military Council).The YPG have become a major opponent of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL). They have co-operated with Syrian opposition fighters against ISIL, but have avoided engaging forces of the Syrian government, which controls several non-Kurdish enclaves in Kurdish territory. The nature of links between the YPG and the controversial PKK in Turkish Kurdistan (North Kurdistan) is disputed. The YPG were originally formed in 2004 by the Democratic Union Party (PYD) in Southern Kurdistan (i.e. northern Iraq) and were transferred to the service of the Kurdish Supreme Committee (which includes the PYD) in 2012. The group initially took a defensive posture in the Syrian Civil War.In July 2012, the YPG had a standoff with Syrian government forces in the Kurdish city of Kobanî and the surrounding areas. After negotiations, government forces withdrew and the YPG took possession of Kobanî, Amuda and Afrin. By December 2012 they had expanded to eight brigades, which were formed in Al-Qamishli, Kobanî and Ras al-Ayn and the districts of Afrin, Al-Malikiyah and Al-Bab.Conflict broke out between the YPG and Islamists in 2013 after they expelled a group of jihadists from Ras al-Ayn.In 2014, the YPG collaborated with the Free Syrian Army in order to fight against ISIL in Ar-Raqqah province. The group has also formed an operations room with multiple FSA factions called Euphrates Volcano. In February 2015, the YPG signed a judicial agreement with the Levant Front in Aleppo. In their campaign against ISIL, the YPG have begun making advances into Arab areas, such as the border town of Tell Abyad in June 2015.The YPG considers itself a democratic people's army and conducts internal elections as a method of appointing officers.".
