Saleh Musallam, the former joint Head of the Kurdish Democratic Union Party (PYD), denied the existence of any political agreement with the Syrian regime, calling it as an autocrat and a dictator regime, stressing that the "agreement" between them on Afrin is purely military.

"There was no political agreement and there were no discussions on this side," Musallam said in remarks to German television on Tuesday evening. "Syria can not return to its previous era of tyranny and dictatorship."

The former leader of the PYD justified their resorting to the Syrian regime as an "internationally recognized" entity and "in the United Nations" and "who can deliver our voice to the United Nations and the Security Council" as there is an "aggression by a neighboring country on Syrian territory".

Turkey has denied the existence of any actual agreement between the two sides in this regard, stressing that what is said is "media misleading", and that Turkish forces are aware of any force trying to enter "Afrin" to protect the terrorist militias.

The Turkish artillery targeted yesterday armed groups tried to go to "Afrin" coming from the town of Nubul loyal to the Syrian regime, and forced them to retreat back.
