Syrian army in Manbij to thwart the Turkish attack

In the Syrian case, Washington Post reported that the Syrian army said it entered a major city in North Syria at the request of the Kurdish fighters and raised the government flag in an attempt to thwart Turkish plans to launch a military attack.

The People's Protection Units (YPG) called on the Syrian government to "impose its control" in Manbij city and protect it "against the Turkish invasion".

On Friday, the Syrian army announced the entry of its forces into Manbij area and raised the Syrian flag there, shortly after the General Command of the People Protection Units called on Damascus to send troops to the area to protect it against Turkish threats. The army said in a statement on Friday it did so "in response to the population's calls" and "to restore sovereignty over every inch of the Syrian territory."

The official account of the International Coalition forces involved in the process of "Hard Determination"(al-Azem al-Salep) on Twitter: "Although of the incorrect information about changes in the military forces in Manbij city in Syria, the Coalition forces involved in "Hard Determination" process did not see any indication of the validity of these allegations."

Coalition forces called on "everyone" to respect the dignity and safety of their citizens.

In contrast, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan doubted the Syrian army's own account of his entry into the northern city of Manbij, saying that "the Assad forces are conducting a psychological war."

The US-led coalition said in an e-mail message on Saturday that it could not discuss the positions of US troops "for practical security reasons."

The text of the message said "We cannot discuss where our troops are located in Syria or specific timetables for their transfer,"

Elham Ahmed said US forces had not yet withdrawn from Manbij, the Associated Press reported. She added that an agreement was reached between the Russians and the Syrian government in which the latter would take the authority immediately after the withdrawal
