The Latest: Kurdish fighters pull out of Syrian border town

A spokesman for the main Kurdish-led group in Syria says their fighters have evacuated the northern town of Ras al-Ayn, saying they have no armed presence there anymore.

Following the evacuation, the Kurdish fighters would redeploy from a zone 120 kilometers wide and 30 kilometers deep between the towns of Ras al-Ayn and Tal Abyad.Turkey’s defense ministry says it is closely monitoring the withdrawal of Syrian Kurdish forces as required by a U.S.-brokered cease-fire. That deal has put Turkey’s military invasion of northern Syria on “pause” until later this week.

The ministry said an 86-vehicle Kurdish convoy has left Ras al-Ayn, a key border town in northeast Syria, toward the town of Tal Tamr.Washington had backed the Kurds in the fight against the Islamic State group. Turkey considers the Kurdish militias to be terrorists.British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan want to set up a meeting with the leaders of France and Germany to discuss Turkey’s military operation in Syria.

The withdrawal of Kurdish fighters from Ras al-Ayn would open the way for them to leave a broader swath of territory along the Syria-Turkey border, as part of an agreement reached between the U.S. and Turkey. Sunday’s ministry statement said that Syrian Kurdish fighters have violated the three-day-old cease-fire some 20 times.

Those are not Kurdish-led forces. Those are pkk/pyd/sdg terrorists. Isis= pkk-pyd-sdg

It's easy to claim a cease fire after there is no one left to fire back at you anymore
