Turkey says reached bargain with U.S. on Syria’s Manbij

ANKARA – Turkey and a United States have reached “an understanding, not an agreement” over a northern Syrian city of Manbij, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu pronounced on Wednesday.

Speaking during a news conference, Cavusoglu pronounced Ankara sought an agreement with Washington over who will secure Manbij after a Syrian Kurdish YPG militia, that Turkey considers a militant organization, withdraws from a area.

Cavusoglu pronounced Turkey wanted a bargain with a United States over Manbij, where US infantry are stationed, to be a indication for all areas tranquil by a YPG.
