Turkish special forces have been deployed into Syria in coordination with the Jolani led STG to be the spearhead of the impending attack against the SDF.
Not only is Turkey as a member of NATO deploying its forces to attack the SDF, the Partner of the USA and 23 other nations - but this is also debunking the STG narrative of their war against the SDF & Kurds being a domestic war to reinstate state sovereignty and that there can only be one army operating in Syria.

SDF PRESS: Misleading and Fabricated Narratives Concocted by Damascus
The narratives promoted by the Damascus authorities regarding the presence of Ali Kayali or other alleged figures in northern and eastern Syria are nothing more than a series of repeated lies disseminated over the past few days, which have fallen apart one after another.These lies are clearly part of a broader effort to cover up their aggression and attacks, and to create fabricated narratives to justify their actions on the ground.
This approach, based on fabricating names and concocting events, reveals the true nature of the official discourse, which is not based on conveying information, but rather on deliberate deception, in a failed attempt to evade responsibility for proven and well-known actions.
