The guy is a prisoner of the Turks, so nothing he says can be taken at face value or trusted. Certainly this issue calls for examination, but he could well be saying just what Erdogan & co. want him to say.
Oh, he’s a prisoner of the Turks, snip said “switched allegiance”. In the hands of Turks, anyone would swear their mother was a prostitute. Turks are not gentlemen.
“A high-ranking commander of the mostly Kurdish force has defected to Turkey”
Brig. Gen. Talal Silo was the one who defected, Turkey captured his son (or sons) and blackmailed him into defecting to save them. They are using it as propaganda.
Turks are the defenders of ISIS. Have been since Obozo was in office.
Talal Silo was a good commander in SDF. He would have never done this except to save his son.

That would be out long time NATO partner Turkey, right?
Why would Turkey want this guy to lie about ISIS being allowed to flee Raqqa?
Turks brought ISIs on themselves like Pakistan brought Talebs on themselves. Now they want to spin it as America
Kurds only had an amnesty deradicalization program to prevent the killing of civilians and getting some intel on ISIs
