PKK/PYD distributes so-called 'identities' in Manbij

The Kurdistan Workers' Party affiliated Democratic Union Party (PKK/PYD) terrorists have distributed so-called identities with the seal of the terrorist organization in Manbij, a town of Syria.

On the so-called IDs, the 'Kobane Canton' inscription is written in Kurdish and Arabic.

Many of the criminals, including the ones deported from Turkey due to their role with the terrorist organization, received the so-called IDs as they reached Manbij.

PKK/PYD terrorists declared their 'canton' in Kobane in 2014. Along with Kobane, Manbij and Hasakah are under control of PKK/PYD.

Rescuing Manbij is significant for Turkey to prevent the formation of a terror corridor in northern Syria.

In this context, the al-Bab operation that is being conducted by the Turkey-backed Free Syrian Army fighters has a vital importance in preventing the formation of the corridor.

Previously, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan vowed the Turkey-backed Syrian opposition group, Free Syrian Army, would move into Manbij to remove PKK/PYD from the town after the group captured al-Bab, a northwestern town still under Daesh control.

Ankara has asked Washington not to support the PYD and YPG terrorist groups, because of their separatist motivations and affiliation with the PKK terrorist organization group.

Meanwhile, U.S. officials are making contradictory statements on their scheduled withdraw from Manbij. The U.S. presidential anti-Daesh envoy Brett McGurk first said that they left Manbij after completing the training, and then changed his tune and said they haven't withdraw yet.

Ankara denounces the PYD and YPG as affiliates of the PKK terrorist organization, which have been conducting terrorist attacks targeting Turkey for three decades and which is designated as a terrorist group by Turkey, the United States and the European Union.

However, Washington insists on indicating that YPG is their ally against Daesh, despite Turkey's warnings.

Recent reports revealed that the U.S. has been sharing intelligence with the PKK/PYD in Syria as a move against Turkey-backed Free Syrian Army soldiers.
