ANF team entered Tal Rifat city in Shehba region of Rojava to find no traces of the invading Turkish army and affiliated gang groups called Free Syrian Army after the Turkish media and Rudaw reported that “Turkish army entered Tal Rifat without engaging in fighting.”

A local reporter for Rumaw, Nuri Ednan spoke to ANF and said; “We are at the entrance of Tal Rifat at the moment. Erdoğan’s remarks are a lie. He is deceiving the people.”

Tal Rifat Assembly member Maruz Ebu Eli Til Betal also spoke to ANF and refuted the fabricated news.

Remarking that neither the Turkish army nor FSA has entered Tal Rifat, Maruz Ebu Eli Til Betal said the following; “He (Erdoğan) deceived them (FSA) in Aleppo, in Al-Bab, in Afrin and is deceiving them in Tal Rifat now. He is mocking them.”
