The PKK was listed by United States as a terrorist group in 1997. The PKK has never attacked the U.S. The PPK who are currently fighting ISIS in Syria say they are of the Kurdish Workers Party. The 30 million Kurds do not have a land of their own. Many live in Turkey. The Kurds have killed 30,000 Turks in fighting. Turkey is using PKK against the U.S. by not allowing the U.S. to use their air base which is close to the fighting, and has launched strikes against the Kurds working with the U.S. The State Department is still being adamant about maintaining PKK on the terrorist list. They have started talking with PKK recently.
