Turkish PM: PYD will leave Manbij one way or "another"- An agreement with the U.S. from the beginning

The PKK-affiliated PYD will have to withdraw its forces from the northern Syrian town of Manbij to the east bank of the Euphrates River “one way or another,” Turkey’s prime minister said Friday.


Speaking to reporters after Friday prayers in the capital Ankara, Yildirim said that he hoped the U.S. will abide by its pledge that the PYD terrorist organization will leave the Arab town.

"We had an agreement with the U.S. from the beginning that PYD elements would withdraw from Manbij. They express at each meeting that they will keep their word on the agreement and do what’s needed," he said.

"We’re still waiting for that word to come true. They will withdraw one way or another."
