France renews backing for Syrian rebels, denies troop moves

Open support for terrorism’ Turkish deputy PM slams Macron’s pro Kurdish statement

Open support for terrorism’ Turkish deputy PM slams Macron’s pro Kurdish statement

Some French media outlets have alleged that the President also promised to send troops to the town of Manbij, west of the River Euphrates, a location Turkey threatens with an invasion despite existing USA outposts there.

The Kurdish-Arab town is under threat of a Turkish military operation that has already complicated the war in Syria. The clarification came after Kurdish representatives said after a meeting with President Emmanuel Macron in Paris on Thursday that France would send "new troops" to the region. The Kurdish claim raised fears that France was ready for a military conflict with Turkey, a fellow North Atlantic Treaty Organisation member. He said Macron only offered renewed political support for the Syrian Democratic Forces, promising to "continue this fight together".

PARIS - France is not planning any new military operation in northern Syria beyond its existing commitments to the US-led global anti-ISIS coalition, the presidential office said on Friday.

In Morocco, for instance, a luxury hotel is said to have received an email requesting that Mrs. Macron's "nephew" be warmly welcomed and picked up at a local airport.

Macron said he hopes the SDF and Turkey will establish a dialogue with French help.

During a joint press conference with his Ukrainian counterpart Pavlo Klimkin later in the day, Çavuşoğlu said that France is constantly trying to be an actor in Syria with different acts, but this time they had gone too far.

Turkey has threatened to march on Manbij and wrest it from Kurdish hands after its forces won a resounding victory over Kurdish fighters earlier this month and took control of Afrin, a town 60 miles (100 kilometers) to the west.

A French presidency statement said Thursday that Macron hopes "a dialogue can be established between the SDF and Turkey with help from France and the global community".

Macron demanded the civilian population be given full access to humanitarian aid in Afrin during the Elysee meeting.

Meanwhile, leaders of the terrorist group told Reuters that France promised to send troops to Manbij to support the SDF after Thursday's meeting.
