Syrian Democratic Forces commander Mazloum Kobane appeared to corroborate President Donald Trump's account of their call.
The commander of the Syrian Democratic Forces has thanked President Donald Trump for organizing an initial ceasefire to halt a Turkish-led attack on majority-Kurdish forces across northeastern Syria, just as the U.S. leader signaled it was time for other powers to step in on Syria.
After this deal was succeeded by a new arrangement between Russia and Turkey, Syrian Democratic Forces commander Mazloum Kobane said Wednesday that he"just spoke with President Trump and explained to him the Turkish violations of the truce that would not have been possible without his great efforts," according to a tweet by spokesperson Mustafa Bali.
President Donald Trump makes a statement in the Diplomatic Room at the White House, on October 23, in Washington. President Trump announced that the U.S. would be lifting all sanctions imposed on Turkey as it has halted its invasion of northern Syria following back-to-back deals with the U.S. and Russia.Shortly after, Trump himself responded, tweeting:"Thank you General Mazloum for your kind words and courage. Please extend my warmest regards to the Kurdish people.
The deal expired Tuesday just hours before Erdogan and Russian President Vladimir Putin concluded their six-hour meeting, whichto formalize the so-called"safe zone" of roughly 20 miles occupied by Turkey and allied Syrian rebels between the towns of Tal Abyad and Ras al-Ayn.
