Turkey, US to discuss stabilization of Manbij
Tehran (KNA) - Turkey and the US have established working groups to discuss the stabilization of Manbij and other Syrian cities east of the Euphrates, Turkey’s foreign minister said Friday.
"We have reached a common understanding with the Americans on the issue of the stabilization of Manbij and other cities east of the Euphrates.
We have established working groups for that," Mevlut Cavusoglu said in an interview with the German weekly Die Zeit.Cavusoglu said he would meet with his US counterpart Rex Tillerson on March 19 to discuss further details.
US military support for the PYD/PKK group in northern Syria has strained ties between Ankara and Washington and has led to fears of potential clashes on the ground between troops of the two NATO allies.
