Turkish Defense Minister Hulusi Akar and US special envoy for Syria, James Jeffrey, discuss the recent developments in Syria, east of the Euphrates and the Manbij road map
Turkish Defense Minister Hulusi Akar meets with James Jeffrey, the US special envoy for Syria in Ankara, Turkey, March 5, 2019.
The Manbij road map focuses on the withdrawal of the PKK-affiliated YPG terror group from the city in order to stabilise the region. In its more than 30-year armed campaign against the Turkish state, the PKK, listed as a terrorist organisation by Turkey, the US and the EU, has been responsible for the death of more than 40,000 people.
During negotiations in Ankara and Washington, Turkish officials repeatedly said that if the US troop withdrawal happens before a mutual agreement is reached in line with Turkey’s security concerns, Ankara reserves its right to self-defence.
