We will not deliver control of "our territories" : Kurds Still Adamant to Russian Offer after Turkish Invasion

One of the Kurdish movements in Afrin disclosed that the Kurds have turned down a Russian request to hand over areas under their control to the Syrian government.

Aldar Khalil, a senior member of the Kurdish movement of 'Democratic Society', said that the Kurdish fighters in Afrin have turned down Russia's proposal to deliver the regions under their control to Damascus, adding that they still insist on keeping the regions.

This is while the Turkish army has intensified air and ground attacks against the Kurds in Afrin in Aleppo province.

"Russia raised this demand but we will not deliver control of our territories to them and will defend all regions under our control," Khalil said.
