The leader of the Kurdish-dominated, Washington-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) on Friday (July 15) urged Moscow and Tehran to prevent Ankara from launching another operation in northern Syria.
We hope that this will not happen again and that the Kurds (…) will not be left behind in the negotiations between the great powers”, declared the commander-in-chief of the SDF, Mazloum Abdi, during a press conference in Hassaké, an area in northeast Syria.
“After recent discussions with Russia with the aim of protecting these regions, we have agreed to allow more Syrian soldiers to enter Kobani and Manbij (majority Kurdish towns in the north, editor’s note) in addition to the troops already present at the border” – Mazloum Abdi added without elaborating.
