ANKARA: Turkish and the US armed forces carried out the fifth round of patrols in the northern Syrian city of Manbij as
part of a deal with the US to rid the area of the YPG/PKK terror group.
In a message posted on its official Twitter account, the Turkish General Staff said that both countries' forces conducted separate patrols in coordination in the area between the Operation Euphrates Shield region and Manbij.
The first patrols by both Turkish and U.S. troops in the region began on June 18.
The Manbij deal, which was made between Turkey and the US, focuses on the withdrawal of the PKK-affiliated
YPG terror group from the northern Syrian city in order to stabilize the region.
