SHARIF AL-ABO / MANBIJ

Turkey is trying to return the issue of Manbij to the media front again. In recent days, a Turkish official said that Turkey and America will conduct joint patrols in Manbij and joint exercises.

Turkey had previously conducted independent patrols within the territory under its control south Jarablus, meaning Turkey's positioning remained unchanged after agreeing on what they called the "road map".

"Turkish allegations" baseless

"What they claim about the road map regarding their entry into Manbij city are just baseless allegations," the co-chair of the Legislative Council in Manbij city and its countryside Farouk al-Mashi said.

He added "Currently, many media are turning their attention to Manbij. At the local level, the city is living in a good state from the service and security situation we are saying that the situation is stable, the service mechanism is doing its best and we do not see this enough, we know that we have to provide more for this country, we pledged ourselves to serve our people at the service and political levels, hoping to achieve the service necessary for our people.

The Justice and Development Party (AKP) is talking about a lack of political vision

Farouk al-Mashi pointed to the permanence mentioning of Manbij and the creation of flimsy claims from the Turkish side. "What is usual from the Turkish side is that the AKP always mentions Manbij, if Manbij is not mentioned in the media for a week, it will be mentioned again later, and the road map subject is: (The agreement between Turkey and the international alliance as the other party and the representative of the United States of America), we have as an administration a direct knowledge of the international alliance on all developments, but there is no mention of what Turkey claims.”

 (AKP) is always talking about Manbij with a lack of political vision, the people of Manbij are aware of this issue, it is clear who is the AKP and what is its tone in talking about Manbij, and what is being said by Turkish officials indicates their loss of political and diplomatic approach only in order to satisfy certain parties, and this is clear, and we reject what is said in this regard categorically."

The people of Manbij of all components administrate their city

Farouk stressed that the people of Manbij of all components are the founders of the administration who are running their city, pointing out that the Turkish allegations are pretexts, and continued: "We have already asked for help from North Syria as having a previous experience, and after a while our administrations have acquired experiences, and the people of Manbij still administrate their area as the Internal Security, the Legislative Council, the Executive Council, the Social Justice Council, the Youth and Women are all from the Manbij city and even the journalists are from the city itself. "

Farouk al-Mashi pointed out that they treated the Turkish state on the basis of good neighborliness. "Unfortunately, it proved before the eyes of the world that it is a state of occupation against the Syrian people." Turkey was an open international road to the entry of mercenaries into Syrian territory.

Enough to play on the strings of the Syrian people

Farouk al-Mashi concluded by pointing out "Syrian Democratic Forces are Syrian forces in essence, within the banner of these forces is mentioned the word Syria, and it is enough to play on the strings of the Syrian people. The Syrian people, if not capable of practicing politics during the eight years they lived, it should be able to read the political points and understand what is behind the scenes, and all of us saw in Afrin Turkish flags raised, is not that an occupation and international violation? In the eyes of the whole world, as it swept across the border to raise the flags of Turkey, a neighboring country and its flag is not a Syrian flag.
