Turkey Says US Has Promised to Stop Arming Kurdish Militia in Syria
  • 6 years ago
On Saturday, Turkey said that the United States has pledged to stop supplying weapons to a Kurdish militia in Syria. Turkey has also called on Washington to immediately remove its troops from a Syrian town of Manbij that Turkish forces plan to target. The agreement is likely to be seen as a diplomatic victory from the incursion, where Turkish troops and their Syrian rebel allies appear to have made modest advances. Turkey views the YPG as terrorists and a major threat to their borders.
