REPORT: Syria’s field situation tackled in Russia

The Syrian government has called on the United Nations to force Turkey to withdraw "its invasion forces from Syrian land", state media said on Friday.


Turkey launched its first major military incursion into Syria last August, an operation meant to drive Islamic State out of the border area and to stop Kurdish militias from seizing ground in their wake.

 

Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan signaled in Moscow on Friday he was not giving up on his ambition to take a role in controlling the Syrian town of Manbij, telling Vladimir Putin he sought to work with a US-led coalition there.

 

Turkey considers Manbij as part of the safe zone it wants to create on its borders to the exclusion of the Kurdish YPG militia, which it considers a hostile terrorist group. But YPG forces are believed to be now ensconced in Manbij and have the support of the United States.
