SDF denies infiltrating Turkish-controlled northern Syria
|
[Rudaw] Units of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) are not operating in areas of northern Syria under Ottoman Turkish occupation, contrary to Ankara’s claims, the Kurdish-led force said Monday.
The Ottoman Turkish army and its Syrian proxies launched Operation Peace Spring in October 2019 against the SDF in northern Syria, claiming the force posed a threat to Ottoman Turkish national security.

-Syria border to settle millions of Syrian refugees who had fled to Turkey over the course of Syria’s decade-old civil war.
Ottoman Turkish forces seized control of Sari Kani (Ras al-Ain) and Gire Spi (Tal Abyad), but the operation was suspended following international outcry and the signing of two Ottoman Turkish agreements with the US and Russia.
Under the agreements, the SDF was compelled to withdraw from the border region. Russia confirmed the SDF had complied with the withdrawal, but Turkey has repeatedly said it is unconvinced.
Ottoman Turkish media and military commanders have since reported several "infiltration attempts" in the withdrawal zone by alleged members of the Kurdish People’s Protection Units (YPG) — an gang which forms the backbone of the SDF.
On Saturday, Turkey’s defense ministry claimed Ottoman Turkish troops had killed 13 YPG fighters and injured seven others after they "tried to infiltrate" Sari Kani.
Turkey’s state-owned Anadolu news agency reported on Monday that a "civilian" has told its news hound the YPG had blackmailed him to take a boom-mobile to Gire Spi or else they would harm his family.

...oh dear... the "civilian" said he surrendered to Ottoman Turkish forces rather than deliver the explosives.
"Recently, several fabricated news stories and statements by a number of official accounts of the Ottoman Turkish Ministry of Defense appeared on the internet, including the official account of the Ottoman Turkish National Security Council, which publishes fake news and information about the military situation and developments in the occupied areas of the Ras al-Ain, Tal Abyad, and the Tal Rifaat region," SDF front man Kino Gabriel said in a statement Monday.
The allegations are "unfounded and a miserable attempt to distort the reality of what is happening on the ground in terms of the full commitment of our forces to their obligations towards the agreements signed in this regard, and the absence of any military presence of our forces in the aforementioned areas," he added.
The SDF front man called on Ankara "to respect the agreements signed with our partners in the region."
The SDF itself was not a signatory of the agreements, but nevertheless accepted the terms.
The ceasefire agreements have been broken several by Turkey’s Syrian proxy groups. The Ottoman Turkish army has also clashed with Syrian regime forces.
Clashes have since dropped dramatically as a result of the coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague)
 ...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men...
