Pence: Turkey, US agree to hudna in Syria, Kurds agree
[PRESSTV] The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the occupiers of Greek Asia Minor...
has agreed to end the military offensive in northern Syria after Kurdish fighters withdraw from a safe zone, US Vice President Mike Pence has said.

Ankara’s incursion "will be halted entirely on completion" of the withdrawal, Pence told news hounds following more than five hours of negotiations between a US delegation and Ottoman Turkish President His Enormity, Sultan Recep Tayyip Erdogan the First
...Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him. It's a sin, a shame, and a felony to insult the president of Turkey. In Anatolia did Recep Bey a stately Presidential Palace decree, that has 1100 rooms. That's 968 more than in the White House, 400 more than in Versailles, and 325 more than Buckingham Palace, so you know who's really more important...
in Ankara on Thursday.

He said that Turkey will suspend its military operation for 120 hours to allow Kurdish YPG bully boyz to pull out from the designated safe zone along the Ottoman Turkish and Syrian border.

"Today the United States and Turkey have agreed to a ceasefire in Syria, in order to allow from YPG forces to withdraw from the safe zone for 120 hours," Pence said.

Turkey's military will primarily enforce a "safe zone" in northern Syria, according to a joint US-Ottoman Turkish statement.

"The safe zone will be primarily enforced by the Ottoman Turkish Armed Forces," the statement said.

Ottoman Turkish Foreign Minster Mevlut Cavusoglu Turkey's military was only "pausing" operations so that the Kurdish YPG forces could leave the zone.

He added no guarantees were made in the talks on the flashpoint Syrian border town of Kobani.

Syria Kurds say willing to abide by ceasefire

[AlAhram] The Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces said Thursday they are willing to abide by a ceasefire announced by Washington and Turkey, after nine days of fighting along Syria's northern border.

"We are ready to abide by the ceasefire," covering the area from Ras al-Ain to Tal Abyad, SDF chief Mazlum Abdi told a Kurdish TV station.

He spoke after Turkey said it had agreed to suspend its offensive for five days if Kurdish-led forces withdraw from areas near the border.
