Turkish FM: Ankara Wants to See Concrete Steps from Washington on Ending Support for Kurdish Fighters

Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said on Saturday that Turkey wants to see concrete steps from the United States to end its support for the People's Protection Units (YPG) in Syria.

"The US needs to stop providing weapons to terrorist groups in Syria as it has promised before," he added, Daily Sabah reported.

Speaking to reporters, Cavusoglu also stressed that the US needs to withdraw from Northern Syria's Manbij region.

Turkey has said the United States has promised it for a second time to stop arming Syria-based Kurdish militants whom Ankara considers a threat to its security, as the American support for them risks pitting the two NATO members against one another.
