The list you've linked doesn't contain the YPG, only the PKK. While the authoritarian in Ankara and people sympathetic to his goals like to conflate both, they are not the same, which is why the US supports one and has the other on the list.

Here's a link to the video where the admission takes place. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6t0f9GmTs_U https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6t0f9GmTs_U Furthermore, the situation is not related to any authoritarianism in Ankara.
