US Vice President Mike Pence announced that he and President Erdogan of Turkey agreed to a ceasefire halting Turkey's incursion into northern Syria.
The deal appears to secure Turkey most of its military objectives and forces America's one-time Kurdish allies in the fight against ISIS to cede a vast swath of territory.
Speaking in Ankara, Turkey, Pence said the "Turkish side will pause Operation Peace Spring in order to allow for the withdrawal of YPG forces from the safe zone for 120 hours."
"All military operations will be paused, and Operation Peace Spring will be halted entirely on completion of the withdrawal," he said.
Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said the reached agreement between the US and Turkey to suspend military operations in Syria is not a ceasefire.
“We will pause the operation for 120 hours in order for the terrorists to leave,” Cavusoglu said. "We will only stop the operation if our conditions are met.”
“Focus on Impeachment!!!” -Jeff Zucker @ 9am
@Frankie Parton Not Trump, Erdogan or Erdolf!
@Flood they are a really dumb species, and they need to be extinct
@Frankie Parton some of these people on these comments are dumb, no point talking to them at all
Turkey does not receive land. Syria took refuge in Turkey with the terörist couse. 4.5 million Syrians want to send their own territory. So to the real owners. YPG =PKK=İSİS BROTHERS.. YPG=PKK=İSİS =TERRÖRİST ORGANİZATİON… People and baby dying…
if Kurds refuse to withdraw from the safe zone…will America deploy it troops to force them?
@OSN’s Chair Wait, you and MelMars needed to correct 3D on his spelling of you’re (your), but somehow didn’t see any issues with Hawxbladez abortion of a sentence?
Okay.
You fn fickle crybabies. You don’t want troops in action. The Whitehouse takes troops out. You want troops in action because (virtue signalling phrase). The Whitehouse manages a ceasefire so (blah blah blah). You fucking democrats are PATHETIC LOSERS!!🖕
Turks will basically kick them out
Peddy not really, but Turks will simply resume the operation, but this time around with USA approval, and they will not have to worry about sanctions, since they did their part of the case fire argument.
no they’re an ‘ally’
Yeah, these the same guys who probably put flex tape on their broken marriage and scream “RESOLVED”
You are pathetic. I thought all the righteous BRAHS wanted peace. 🖕
This is great news. Everyone should be hoping for diplomatic solutions over war. Peace not war through strength. President is showing great wisdom while so many are craving bloodshed!
💃🏿❤️✝🇺🇸💃🏿 👏🏾✌🏿️👏🏾
you are not the brightest bulb but that was funny lol
Hmmm, maybe you should have never brought them there in the FIRST place..
Pence called it a 120 hour pause…. LISTEN!
And Turkey said it wasn’t and no sanctions. YOU LISTEN and LOOK! This is a total rout and we look weak and stupid. As indeed Trump is
Errr I just listened to the Turks on Turkish internet.
I speak fluent Greek and English and a little Turkish.
What means ‘pause’ in English is totally different in Turkish or Greek.
They don’t have a word for pause.
It’s either go or stop.
For now, they are staying all is stopped.
And we are seeing they are still throwing a few missiles in whenever they get bored
LOL turkish speaker here, there is absolutely a word for pause. duraklamak, ara vermek. pick one.
Darrin Turkey stopped the Ypg terrorist organization and american occupation.! this is how the US al-Qaeda terror organization used it. Dont forget please!!
Americans please do not make your children soldiers for imperialists.
when will you begin to criticize your imperialist racist law???
So yer sayin’ they don’t have a pause button on their VCRs?
This being 5 days only would be a pause as it is very temporary while ceasefire would be permanent or at least not a limited duration . In Trump world facts and details mean zero .
*It’s not a ceasefire but they stopped firing* ??
What did you expect? Its CNN. They redicule EVERYTHING what the Trump administration accomplishes. In this they inadverdly turn to antipatriotic haters who try to get masses on their board to continue to divide the US.
Ceasefire is an official stop to all military action in an area. Turkey just say it just a 120 hour pause. Meaning it might not be fighting, but they still planning and prepping on the military front.
ONE DAY WHEN YOU GROW UP YOU WILL UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE
Yeah and I’m not surprised that yet another CNN YouTube video has more dislikes than it does likes. I think Americans are waking up from this brainwashing agenda from left wing media CNN
A defintion of “ceasefire”: “a temporary suspension of fighting; a truce.” (wikipedia) So, “ceasefire” is a pause to fighting and doesn’t mean, that after that a fight could go on. In this case: the condition to suspend further fighting is, that the kurdish YPG militia moves out from the border area and stops firing at turkish troops or civilian population inside Turkey. Exaclty that the YPG is doing now, as they agreed with US and Turkey.
Jeff Zucker punching the air right now trying to spin this
@TheBigStink Said the low I/Q inbred…
TheBigStink Yah because when they stop killing and shooting it’s not cease fire it’s a stopping fire? 😂😂🤣👍🏻
American Patriot, exactly. Even to something as great as stopping killing people CNN feels the need to give a negative spin only because it is Trump. Shame, shame, shame on CNN
um CNN if they stop shooting, bombing and killing i think that’s a cease fire lol
It’s a only for like five days.
Zach Dillenger Cease fires are used to stop killing while they try to negotiate a longer peace or cease fire
@Big Red Turks said they will not talk to kurds they made their stance clear. “Leave all the areas we want or die” Alias Syrian Army and Russia on Kurds side so Turkish invasion isn’t going to go well
Zach Dillenger Turkey is a country , Kurds have no country so no standing, the land Turkey is wanting to take is to create a buffer and it is Syrian land.
Just enough time to evac troops and the 50 tactical nukes at Incirlik…. Making Assad, ISIS, Erdogan, Iran, and Russia Great Again….
no Turkey won’t let you take the nukes 😘🇹🇷
This nukes of Nato 😁
Turkey not want to nukes! Please take it, you can decorate to home with nukes..
Wow you are so ignorant of the situation I didn’t ever think you can make that many mistakes in one sentence
exactly! trump is so fucking stupid
US touts cease fire but Turkey calls it no homo..
Gee, I’m so glad we’re sending a mediocre former governor from mediocre state to handle international diplomacy. What could go wrong?
I wonder if he took “mother” on the trip with him?
Mike Pence does have a Bachelors in History and he is a Lawyer as well. Sound like a great choice to me. Plus he is the second most powerful man in the world. Where do you think all these politician come from? weather he took his mom or not we still have a stop, pause, break, cease fire that stops death. Even if it is only for a few days. That is a few days of no loss of human life. Our fellow human beings.
william matos thanks for having a normal mentality
i can’t stand the man. there’s something wrong with a man who believes you can reverse ‘the gay’ out of a man.
@sandy kitty I get it and that’s ok. We all have beliefs or ways of thinking that is not agreeable with other people. But we as adults have to put our differences to the side and move foward. People change and we must forgive not for their sake but our own.
No fighting? Is he off his meds?
Something is wrong with this man.
I served in the 80’s, doesn’t that make me an expert too?
Not unless it was Syria with the kurds
i bet you’re more of an expert than trump…hell, i’m more of an expert than trump, and i’m no expert!
I’m curious how the U.S. has the right to give Syrian land to Turkey?
It’s not the true question to ask urself.. u should be courios about if USA has any claims on Syria
Syria is an artificial country created after ww1 by the British and the French from remnants of Ottoman empire, so it is former Turkish land and in fact many Turks live there, so called Turcomans, and Turkey always promised to protect them, just like Cypriot Turks.
Turkey stopped the Ypg terrorist organization and american occupation.! this is how the US al-Qaeda terror organization used it. Dont forget please!!
Americans please do not make your children soldiers for imperialists.
when will you begin to criticize your imperialist racist law???
With the same right that enabled French to give that land to English. Learn some history then see the real atrocities and reasons of uncessant bloodshed
They spend $ 800,000,000,000 annually on their kill equipment to do what they want
Hahahaha US Starts a fire then claim credit for putting it out.lol
Which state?
US bombed their own base. What a weak looking defeated mess Trump has given us
@T McAuliffe Trump is to blame for friend fire
Pence literally said a “pause” in the first 10 seconds. You guys need to edit your videos better when you try and deceive us.
And Turkey said it was nothing and no sanctions either. Why are you bragging about this disgusting failure? It has weakened America and destroyed our credibility for what?Kurds are NOT hapy. Putin and Iraq and Syria are though
They dont know they are lying cos its normal
truth. we look like total morons/weaklings/losers/traitors
Turkey stopped the Ypg terrorist organization and american occupation.! this is how the US al-Qaeda terror organization used it. Dont forget please!!
Americans please do not make your children soldiers for imperialists.
when will you begin to criticize your (US)imperialist racist law???
CNN just showed a bus of Kurdish “refugees” fleeing the area: A little girl smiled and flashed a Bloods/Crips-type crooked hand sign. I wonder if she was a Mexican on a bus in San Ysidro……..
Kurds look different from Hispanic. Go to a Slavic Russian and try to call him Celtic Irish.
I Love Turkey 🇹🇷 я люблю тебя Турция ❤️
Nice to hear from someone who actually knows Kurdish people.
Bitchsons don’t talk about America’s unwanted presence in gulf cruelly ruling religious majorities.
