Afrin does not fall within the scope of the US military

"We are not paying particular attention to that area with our military resources," said US Central Forces (CENTCOM) Commander General Joseph L. Votel to reporters.

The commander of the US Central Command, General Joseph Votel, said that Turkiye informed the US about its military operation in Afrin, pointing out that Afrin does not fall within the scope of the US military.

Stating that they do not know Turkiye's intentions but they are concerned about Afrin operation that will affect the fight against DAESH, Votel stressed that the Turkish Authorities did not mention about an operation on Manbij.

On the other hand, "We recognize Turkey’s security concerns about the PKK, a US-designated foreign terrorist organization,” Adrian Rankine-Galloway, the Pentagon’s spokesman said in a statement and also called on “all parties” to avoid escalation and to focus on Daesh.
