The Turkish-backed Free Syrian Army or FSA (also called the Syrian National Army), have denied those claims. The Turkish-backed FSA denies that it was involved, saying none of their forces or factions have reached the M4 highway where the killings happened. "Asayish Kurdish security forces members were killed before Hevrin Khalaf arrived to the checkpoint," said the SDF Press Commander.
