Vice President Mike Pence announced a 'ceasefire,' but both Turkey and Kurdish-led forces rejected this.
Vice President Mike Pence has announced a"ceasefire" between Turkey and Kurdish-led forces in northern Syria following talks in Ankara, but both sides have already pushed back against the United States' remarks.
Leading a delegation to the Turkish capital, President Donald Trump's deputy told reporters Thursday"today, the United States and Turkey have agreed to a ceasefire in Syria." The deal entails a 120-hour, or five-day, cessation of hostilities on the part of Turkish forces and allied Syrian insurgents to allow the People's Protection Units , which helped a U.S.
These remarks were disputed, however, by Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu, who told a press conference that"this is not a ceasefire." He added:"A ceasefire is held only between two legitimate parties and we're just taking a pause for the safe zone, which is the goal of the operation." This picture taken on October 17 from the Turkish side of the border with Syria in the Ceylanpinar district city of Sanliurfa shows smoke and fire rising from the Syrian town of Ras al-Ain during the Turkish-led offensive against Kurdish-led groups in northeastern Syria. The U.S. announced a"ceasefire" but both Turkey and Kurdish-led forces rejected this.
