Beirut, Oct 21 (AP/UNB) — Turkey's military says it is closely observing the withdrawal of Kurdish fighters in northeast Syria and says it has recorded at least 125 vehicles, carrying the fighters, leaving the area.
In a statement on Monday, the military also said there had been 36 incidents of live fire violations since the United States negotiated a five-day truce under which Syrian Kurdish fighters are to pullout from the region.
Turkey has vowed to resume its offensive if the fighters don't vacate the area by Tuesday evening, when the cease-fire ends.
U.S. President Donald Trump's administration negotiated the accord after heavy criticism at home and abroad that it had opened the way for the Turkish invasion by abruptly removing its soldiers from northeast Syria.
