Vehicles with Turkish flags joined those in Syria with U.S. flags some 15 kilometers east of the Turkish border town of Akcakale, near Syria’s Tel Abyad. Two military helicopters were seen overhead. After intensive negotiations, Turkey and the United States have also set up a joint operation center but have so far disagreed over the zone’s depth and over the command structure of the forces to operate there.
“Our geography is an advantage, but we are at a disadvantage in terms of migration and terror,” Turkish Interior Minister Suleyman Soylu said in a CNN Turk interview Sunday.“If U.S. forces can patrol in the east of Euphrates with our forces and can enter with their own troops, and if there are the observation points in Idlib , this is all due to the steps taken by Turkey.”
