two Czech nationals on suspicion of fighting for the Syrian Kurdish Peoples' Protection Units (YPG), seen as a terror group by Ankara but an ally by Washington, reports said Thursday.

Turkish security forces detained the man and woman -- Miroslav Farkas and Marketa Vselichova -- in the southeastern Sirnak province that borders Syria and Iraq, the pro-government Sabah daily said. It said they adopted the names Serxwebun Botan and Zelane Botan to fight with the YPG and also printed the identity pages of their Czech passports. The Sabah report said the two Czechs had been trained by German special forces and the French foreign legion.

The two were detained while illegally trying to cross back into Turkey and have now been remanded in jug, the report said. Czech media said the foreign ministry had confirmed the arrests, without giving further details.

It said this was the first such operation aimed at detaining foreigners suspected of operating with the YPG.

Several Western nationals are believed to have been killed while fighting with the group in recent months.

Ankara has accused EU states -- in particular Belgium and Germany -- of giving sanctuary to wanted PKK turbans and turning a deaf ear to demands for their extradition.
