"Our relations with the U.S. are based on strategic partnership. As two strategic partners, we had opportunity to elaborate the developments in the northern Syria, east of Euphrates, Manbij. We also had the chance to talk on Idlib but our main agenda is Manbij. We have discussed how we can clear Manbij of these organization while we reiterated our view on the PYD/YPG," Erdogan told a presser late Dec 1 in Buenos Aires.

Erdogan held a 50-minute long in-person meeting Trump on the margins of the G20 Summit amid bilateral efforts to put things back on track after the release of a U.S. Pastor whose two-year detention had caused severe impacts on Ankara-Washington bonds.

and the U.S. agreed on a road map in early June for the withdrawal of the YPG bully boyz from Manbij to the east of Euphrates River but its implementation has been delayed. Turkey has long been criticizing the U.S. cooperation with the YPG in the pretext of continued fight against the Islamic State

Erdogan reiterated Turkey’s frustration over the choice of the U.S. in partnering with a terror organization to eliminate another terrorist group, saying "As Turkey, we witness this double standard on the terrorist actions both in our country and our neighbor Syria."

"Terrorists, who act within Turkey, kill civilians and mess with terrorism, roam freely in Western countries under the name of political refugees and can even collect tribute," the president said, referring to the supporters of the Fethullahist Terror Organization (FETÖ).

"The supporters of FETÖ, who initiated the coup attempt and killed 251 of our people, are being protected by certain countries, notwithstanding of all the mounting evidence we have presented," he said, expressing his hope that the U.S. will change its attitude and extradite Fethullah Gülen
