Manbij roadmap to be 'turning point' in US-Turkey ties

WASHINGTON, DC - JUNE 03: Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu has said the implementation of a roadmap for withdrawal of YPG/PKK terrorists from the northern Syrian city of Manbij is expected to begin after his meeting with U.S. counterpart Mike Pompeo. “After giving approval to Manbij [issue] in the east of the Euphrates [river] tomorrow [Monday] as two ministers, we will begin to implement it, which may be a turning point for bilateral relations,” Cavusoglu said during a program at the Diyanet Center of America. The roadmap on Manbij is expected to be announced following the meeting with Pompeo, which would focus on the withdrawal of the PKK-affiliated YPG terror group from the northern Syrian city and regional stability in the region. The foreign minister said the U.S. support for the PKK/PYD terrorist organization in Syria is one of the most important issues creating a dispute between Ankara and Washington. "We strive for a political solution in Syria. We reject all efforts towards dividing Syria. We have been working as a main actor for the political solution in Syria with Astana, Sochi and Geneva [peace] processes,” he said. Turkey’s top diplomat also criticized the U.S. administration for not taking any action for the extradition of Fetullah Gulen, leader of the Fetullah Terrorist Organization, a network behind the deadly coup attempt in Turkey in 2016. FETO issue would also be discussed during the meeting with Pompeo, Cavusoglu added. (Footage by Vural Elibol/Anadolu Agency/Getty Images)
