ANKARA, Turkey, Aug. 31 (UPI) -- Turkey has rejected claims of a cease-fire between Turkish forces and Kurdish militias in the Syrian town of Jarablus recently freed from Islamic State control.
Omer Celik, Turkey's chief negotiator and minister of European Union affairs, on Wednesday said that no cease-fire agreement has been reached with the People's Protection Units, also known as the YPG, or the Democratic Union Party, or PYD -- both Kurdish militias fighting in Syria.
