Turkey sets condition for not attacking Syrian Kurds

ISTANBUL (APP) - Turkey on Monday said it would press on with targeting a Syrian Kurdish militia in Syria if it failed to fulfil promises to retreat east of the Euphrates River, accusing the group of ethnic cleansing.

"The YPG (People's Protection Units) first of all... need to cross east of the Euphrates as soon as possible. So long as they don't they will be a target," said Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu, accusing the group of "ethnic cleansing" and forcing opponents to flee.
