Turkish security said Friday it is investigating the links of two Czech-national YPG members arrested earlier this week in the southeastern city of Şırnak.
Miroslav Farkas, whose alias is Serxwebun Botan, and Marketa Vselichova, known as Zelane Botan, were detained Monday at the Habur border gate after illegally crossing from Syria.
The social media accounts of the pair indicate they have been organizing anti-Turkey propaganda in Europe.
It was also revealed that two alleged terrorists also traveled to Iraq and Syria on several occassions.
The YPG is the military branch of the PKK's Syrian affiliate, the PYD.
The PKK is listed as a terrorist organization by the U.S. and EU but those countries do not recognize the PYD as a terror outfit, despite evidence provided by Turkish authorities.
The PKK terrorist group resumed a 30-year armed campaign against the Turkish state in July 2015. Since then PKK terrorist attacks have killed more than 800 security personnel and claimed the lives of over 310 many civilians, including women and children, while more than 10,000 PKK terrorists have been killed or apprehended in army operations.
