Abstract
Non- state actors have significantly gained momentum after the late twentieth century especially in Asia and more precisely in Middle East. Their importance can be estimated by the fact that super powers of the world rely on them instead of state actors for their respective agendas in the region. YPG (Yekineyen Parastina Gel or simply Peoples Protection Unit) is one of those non-state actors operating in Syria driven by the ideology of autonomy for Kurdish ethnic minority. This paper will try to cover comprehensive profile of YPG and the part that this group is playing in Syrian Crises.
