"One hundred soldiers and a number of armored vehicles came to Syrian Kurdistan through the Kurdistan Region to monitor the situation in the region," said Galu Issa, a member of the Central Committee of the Kurdistan Democratic Party of Syria (KDP-S) about the increase in the number of US troops.
He continued: "The reality is that each of the United States, Russia and Turkey are seeking to strengthen their forces in east of the Euphrates, and take actions in this regard from time to time.
"The Americans themselves say they are doing this to take care of their positions, but the truth is that they are preparing for special circumstances."
The Kurdish official stated: The Americans are seeking to prevent further Russian influence in the east of the Euphrates.
"The United States also wants to prevent the central government and its allies from infiltrating and moving east of the Euphrates," Galu Issa said.
