Turkey's president say Syrian Kurdish fighters are withdrawing from parts of northeast Syria.
That follows a cease-fire agreement reached between Turkey and the United States a day earlier.
Recep Tayyip Erdogan told reporters in Istanbul Friday that his country's defense minister confirmed that the Kurdish fighters had begun withdrawing.
However, Erdogan says Turkish troops will remain in northeast Syria to monitor whether "this terror organisation (is) truly leaving the area."
Erdogan however, denies that clashes were ongoing, saying: "I don't know where you're getting your news from. According to the news I received from my defense minister, there is no question of clashes. These are all speculation, disinformation."
