On March 12, the Kurdish People’s Protection Units (YPG) started transfering control over checkpoints near the town of Tell Rifaat, the Menagh airbase as well as a few nearby villages to Damascus’ National Defense Forces (NDF), according to pro-government sources.
However, even if the YPG is really serious in handing over some areas to government forces and is ready to reach a wide-scale reconciliation deal with Damascus, this effort may come too late.
The reports came aimd the continued Turkish advance in the area of Afrin where the Turkish Army and the Free Syrian Army were isolating the YPG-held city of Afrin from the southwestern and northeastern directions.
Earlier on the same day, the pro-opposition Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported that the Syrian Republican Guard had deployed near the areas of Zahraa and Nubl, close to both Turkish-held and YPG-held areas.
