ANSWER FROM USA

The claims that the US has pulled its civilian personnel, including diplomats, from northern and eastern Syria to Erbil, have not been denied by the US State Department. Central Command (CENTCOM) announced that it will not talk about the security of American soldiers in Syria, citing it.

When asked if these allegations were true, CENTCOM replied, “We cannot talk about our personnel movements in Syria, doing so would jeopardize our powers.”

Along with these, the US Department of State did not confirm the allegations, but in the written response, they received similar questions and repeated their previous call for de-escalation. Upon persistent questions, Foreign Affairs officials did not deny the allegations and said that they would not make any comments beyond the statement made last week.

CALL FROM PENTAGON

Pentagon Spokesman Patrick Ryder stated that the operations against ISIS did not stop, but the US reduced the number of joint patrols with the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), and at the same time, American forces were not deployed elsewhere.

Ryder said that a possible ground operation by Turkey in Syria would “seriously” jeopardize the gains made in the war against ISIS and called for restraint. “Similarly, we recognize the legitimate security concerns regarding terrorist acts occurring within Turkey’s borders,” Ryder said.
