He doesn't care about their political system. What he cares about is that they are Kurds. Kurds did some terrorism in Turkey. Some Kurds want to separate from Turkey. Both things are a serious problem. Also, Syrian oil fields those particular Kurds control. Yeah, it's actually probably mostly about oil.
