Express News UK quoted the Anadolu agency that French troops have entered Syria to a US base in the Kurdish-controlled northeastern town of Remelan from their former positions in Iraq.
French soldiers have repeatedly crossed the Syrian-Iraqi border and have even participated in operations bear Syrian cities Manbij, Raqqa and Deir ez-Zor, the media outlet said.
The forces are stationed at five military bases in the areas controlled by the Kurdish People’s Protection Units (YPG).
President Emmanuel Macron met with a delegation of the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) last month and assured the alliance of France’s support in the stabilisation in northeastern Syria.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said in response: “If the remark by the French Presidency that ‘we can mediate between Turkey and the SDF’ is true, it far exceeds the capacity of the person who said it.”
