Pentagon: America will not build a military base in northern Syria
According to Webangah News quoted by Mehr News Agency quoted by Al Jazeera, America has been one of the main supporters of terrorist groups since the beginning of the unrest in Syria in 2011 until now. Now, with the fall of Bashar al-Assad’s government, there are rumors of an increase in Washington’s military presence in Syria.
Accordingly, Sabrina Singh, the spokeswoman of the US Department of Defense (Pentagon) rejected the news about the country’s increased military presence in Syria.
He said in a press conference with the media: America has no plans to build a military base in the Ain al-Arab region in northern Syria, and this issue is only media speculation. It is.
America has been supporting the Syrian Kurdish forces known as the Syrian Democratic Forces for years. This issue has angered the Ankara authorities because Turkey believes that these forces are allies of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK).
