YPG/PKK terrorist ringleader Ferhat Abdi Şahin, codenamed Mazloum Kobani, is wanted by Interpol with a red notice, and the U.S. should hand him over to Ankara, Turkey's president said on Oct. 24.

Russian military police carried out their first patrol in northern Syria on Oct. 23 under a deal between Ankara and Moscow that requires
PKK/YPG terrorists to withdraw from a planned safe zone.

U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo confirmed late on Oct. 23 that the PKK/YPG terror group had withdrawn from the area in northern Syria where Turkey has been conducting Operation Peace Spring.

Turkey's counter-terror operation in northern Syria will restart if the YPG/PKK terror group does not withdraw within 35 hours, Turkish foreign minister has said.

Turkey expects the U.S. to fulfill its commitments regarding the agreement on YPG/PKK terror group's withdrawal from the planned safe zone in northern Syria, said a senior Turkish official on Oct. 20.

The Turkish president said on Oct. 20 that Ankara expects the U.S. to facilitate the withdrawal of YPG/PKK terrorists from northern Syria, and warned of the operation's resume otherwise. 

Turkey and Russia will discuss the removal of YPG/PKK terrorists from the northern Syrian towns of Manbij and Ain al-Arab during talks in Sochi on Oct. 22, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu said on Oct. 20.

The PKK/YPG terrorists have violated the safe zone deal with the U.S. 20 times since it came into effect on Oct. 17, according to Turkish Defense Ministry on Oct. 20.

YPG/PKK terrorists carried out 14 attacks in the last 36 hours, while Turkish Armed Forces (TSK) have fully complied with the deal on establishment of the safe zone, said Turkish National Defense Ministry on Oct. 19.

Clash in safe zone between Turkish forces and YPG/PKK terrorists is out of the question, and disinformation, Turkish president said on Oct. 18.
