Erdoğan, Putin to discuss phased terrorist YPG/PKK withdrawal in Syria

The terrorist YPG/PKK is expected to initially withdraw from a 120-kilometre (75 mile) strip of the border with Turkey in northeast Syria as part of an agreement brokered by Washington, a Turkish security source said on Tuesday.

The source, speaking on condition of anonymity, added that Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan and Russian President Vladimir Putin would discuss the YPG/PKK terror group withdrawal from the rest of the border at a meeting in Russia later on Tuesday.
