Syrian Kurdish militia to disarm only after peace returns to Syria

<p style="text-align: left;">The Kurdish People's Protection Units (YPG) will lay down their arms only after peace returns to Syria, the militia&amp;rsquo;s spokesman Nuri Mahmud said.

According to a Jordanian news channel, Al-Hadath, Mahmud stated that the weapons supplied by the United States were used to combat terrorists.

The YPG said it had handed over the northern city of Manbij to the Syrian army to focus on the fight against the Islamic State (IS) terror group east of the Euphrates River.

The surprise withdrawal of 2,000 US troops from Syria was announced after Trump said that the objective to defeat the IS terror group had been achieved.
