Terrorist group manages to keep weapons in the region by changing its positions with aims to use it against Turkey

As the terrorist PKK/PYD-YPG group has to entirely withdrawn from Syria's northern city of Manbij and west of Euphrates in the scope of Turkey-U.S. deal, the terrorist group is selling its weapons in the blackmarket as financial source.

The U.S. continues to deploy fresh weapons to terrorists especially the PKK/PYD-YPG, despite its pledge to retrieve the weapons it gave to terrorist groups in northern Syria, according to Anadolu Agency's local sources in Syria.

A 200-truck U.S. convoy including armored vehicles, heavy weapons and ammunition entered into Syria by using the Semelka Border Gate which is under the control of northern Iraq's Kurdish Regional Government (KRG).

Separately, in the northern parts of Syria the terrorist PKK/PYD-YPG are selling the weapons they received from the U.S. at blackmarket. Thus, supplying the terror group with financial support and also keeping the circulation of weapons in the region this way.

According to the Manbij deal between Turkey and the U.S, the PKK-affiliated YPG terror group has to withdraw from the city by the end of 2018 in order to stabilize the region while also returning its weapons back to U.S.

The terrorist group rather than returning the weapons taken from U.S., are displacing them and keeping them in the region that it would be used against Turkey in a possible future operation.

However, the U.S. continues to provide arms support to terror groups in Syria under the disguise of so-called Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) -- a regional proxy for the PKK terrorist group.

In its more than 30-year terror campaign against Turkey, the PKK has taken some 40,000 lives, including many women and children. The YPG/PKK is its Syrian branch.
