Patriotic Revolutionary Youth Movement (Kurdish: Tevgera Ciwanen Welatparêz Yên Şoreşger, Turkish: Yurtsever Devrimci Gençlik Hareket YDG-H) is an organization founded by youth PKK sympathizers. The movement began to emerge early 2013, where Kurds are mostly inhabited in many cities and towns. The movement started to spread rapidly after the solution process.

Large presence in Şırnak province of Cizre, unlike other Kurdish inhabited areas there has been calls for autonomy for the Kurdish people living in Northern Kurdistan. This event has led to major clashes between government forces and the YDG-H including operations to arrest members. Other objectives of the YDG-H include clearing all activities of prostitution, drugs and other similar related activities out of Turkish Kurdistan. The restructuring of events has led to frequent clashes between government forces.[1]
