Turkey's military intervention in Syria is a "blatant aggression in Syrian internal affairs," and results from an agreement between it, Iran and Syria's government, Redur Xelil, the spokesman for the People's Protection Units (YPG) militia said on Wednesday.
Xelil added that Turkish demands for the YPG to pull back east of the Euphrates could only be answered by the Syrian Democratic Forces, the US-backed coalition against Islamic State of which the group is a major part.
