Syrian locals demand Turkey clear YPG/PKK from Tal Rifaat

Syrian residents of Tal Rifaat city, including some fighters from the Free Syrian Army, staged a rally between Azaz city and Sijo town, demanding a Turkish military operation against the YPG/PKK terrorist group in Syria's Tal Rifaat. Turkey launched Operation Olive Branch on Jan. 20 to clear terrorist groups from Afrin in northwestern Syria amid growing threats from the region. On March 18, Turkish-backed troops liberated the town of Afrin, which had been a major hideout for the PYD/PKK since 2012.
