Ministry of Foreign Affairs made a statement on the secret deal that the PYD/ YPG has reached with DAESH to be evacuated from Raqqa.

"It is an extremely grave and eye-opening revelation that the so-called "Syrian Democratic Forces" dominated by PYD/YPG, the Syrian extension of the terrorist organization PKK, brokered a deal with the terrorist organization DEASH to evacuate a large number of DEASH terrorists from Raqqa while the operation to clear DEASH from Raqqa was already underway," read the statement made by Turkish Foreign Ministry.

The statement continued as: "As we have emphasized on every occasion, the purpose of PYD/YPG in Syria is not to fight against DEASH, but to create illegitimate faits-accomplis on the ground, to occupy territories and to alter their demographic structures. The deal sets a new example of the fact that fighting one terrorist organization with another would eventually result in these terrorist organizations colluding with each other."

"We also deplore the statements of the spokespersons of the Global Coalition against DEASH and the US Department of Defense whereby they not only did not deny the existence of the deal but, on the contrary, expressed their "respect" for it," said at the end of the statement. (ILKHA)
