General Command of Manbij Military Council released a statement refuting the distorted reports on the agreement they have made with Russia.

The statement by the General Command of Manbij Military Council is as follows:

“Following our statement in relation to the border line between our forces and the Euphrates Shield, some press and broadcasting institutions do not reflect the reality and are making distorted claims.

As the Manbij Military Council, we have already pointed out that the defense duty of Manbij and its surroundings is carried out by the Manbij Military Council and international coalition forces. We do not allow any passage of force(s) into the area. Manbij was rescued from the Daesh gangs by our forces and international coalition forces, and we are carrying out the defense of Manbij as the same forces. We promise our people that we will defend them and make their lives safe.

The agreement made between Russia and us, the Manbij Military Council, only comprises of the border line of the Arima region and Euphrates Shield.”
