A meeting between Iraqi Kurdish political leader Masoud Barzani and US special envoy Tom Barrack has begun in Erbil, in northern Iraq. Hoshang Hasan, the editor of the North Press Agency, says the US role in mediating between the Syrian army and the SDF is “very important”. “Since the formation of the SDF in 2014, its forces have been fighting side by side with US troops against ISIL [ISIS],” he told Al Jazeera. “Through this cooperation and coordination with US troops, the SDF has managed to liberate many areas of Syria from the grip of ISIL, including Deir Az Zor city. Therefore, I believe the US mediatory role, and the broader mediation efforts by US envoys and officials, are very important.” Subscribe to our channel: http://bit.ly/AJSubscribe Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/AJEnglish Find us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/aljazeera Check our website: http://www.aljazeera.com/ Check out our Instagram page: https://www.instagram.com/aljazeeraenglish/ Download AJE Mobile App: https://aje.io/AJEMobile #Syria #SyrianArmy #Aleppo #SDF #DeirHafer #MiddleEastConflict #SyrianConflict #MilitaryOperations #KurdishForces #WarInSyria #BreakingNews #AlJazeeraEnglish
