Turkish EU Minister Ömer Çelik refuted claims that there had been a ceasefire agreement between Turkey and the PKK/PYD terror group, Turkish Yeni Safak reports.
Several media reports on Tuesday, citing U.S. officials, had said that a ceasefire had been agreed to between Turkey-backed Syrian rebels and PYD/PKK forces.
"The Republic of Turkey is an independent, lawful state," said Celik. "It cannot be evaluated as if they [Turkey and PKK/PYD] were equal and there was an agreement between them."
