US-backed SDF sees big risk of clash with Turkey in northwest Syria

The United States-backed Syrian Democratic Forces warned Thursday of the prospect of fierce confrontation with the Turkish army in northwestern Syria if it attacks SDF areas, and said this would undermine the assault on Daesh (ISIS) at Raqqa.


 Naser Haj Mansour, a senior SDF official, told Reuters the SDF had taken a decision to confront Turkish forces "if they try to go beyond the known lines" in the areas near Aleppo where the sides exchanged fire on Wednesday. "Certainly there is a big possibility of open and fierce confrontations in this area, particularly given that the SDF is equipped and prepared," he said.

 "If it [the Turkish army] attacks we will defend, and if it attacks there will be clashes."
