Kurdish militants to withdraw advisors from Syria’s Manbij
2018-06-06
[PRESSTV] The Syrian People’s Protection Units (YPG) has announced that it will take its advisors out of Syria’s northern city of Manbij a day after the US and The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire....
 agreed on a roadmap for withdrawal of the Kurdish hard boy group from the region.

In a statement on Tuesday, the YPG said its fighting forces had withdrawn from Manbij last November, but the group’s military advisors remained in the area to assist the Manbij Military Council.

Following a meeting between Ottoman Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu and US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo in Washington on Monday, the two sides agreed on a plan for the withdrawal of the YPG from Manbij in an attempt to put an end to a months-long dispute between the two NATO

 allies.

Turkey and the US also agreed to implement the roadmap to other regions in Syria.
Al Ahram adds:
Ottoman Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said on Tuesday YPG personnel withdrawing from Manbij would be disarmed and sent east of the Euphrates River.

Speaking in The Sick Man of Europe Turkey

's southern province of Antalya on Tuesday, Cavusoglu said that joint preparatory work on the roadmap would begin in 10 days and implementation would be carried out within six months.

He said that in future the model should also be applied to Syria's Raqqa, Kobani and other areas controlled by the YPG.

"The YPG is a terrorist organization and cannot have any role in any city. We cannot hand over a region or city to a terrorist organization," Cavusoglu said.

He said he recognised that Kurds who are not part of the YPG could remain in these areas and said he aims to return the "population structure" of Manbij to what it was "before the YPG's arrival".
