Sipan said, "During the crisis, many forces and factions have been formed, each of which has its own target according to the interests of the countries that support them without paying attention to the status of the people so we as young people chose to defend our areas so that we joined the ranks of YPG because we saw within them the true principles of freedom."

YPG collected all components

"The reason for my joining YPG is the thought that brings together all the components which motivated us to fight the mercenaries in one row," the fighter Khamgin Aleppo of a Christian component who joined YPG in 2014.

He added, "When the mercenaries entered the neighborhood, they threatened us by force of arms to come out because we were Christians. They wanted to create strife between us and the other components, and today, we are fighting together thanks to YPG."
