A Syrian rebel alliance has not pulled any heavy arms from the country’s north, its spokesman said on Sunday, denying reports it had begun implementing a demilitarisation deal there. Russia and Turkey reached a deal earlier this month to create a buffer zone around the opposition stronghold of Idlib that would be free of both jihadists and heavy arms. The National Liberation Front, a pro-Turkey rebel alliance, welcomed the deal, but said on Sunday that it had not yet moved any heavy arms from the planned zone. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitor had earlier said that Faylaq al-Rahman, one faction of the NLF, began withdrawing its heavy weapons under an agreement to create a buffer zone. However, a spokesman for Faylaq al-Rahman said that it had not moved any forces or arms.
