ANKARA - Preparations by Turkey and the United States on a safe zone for refugees in northeastern Syria are on schedule, Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan was quoted as saying on Friday after previously accusing Washington of stalling.
U.S. support for the YPG, a key U.S. ally against Islamic State in Syria, has angered Turkey. Ankara considers the YPG a terrorist organization. At a briefing on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly, U.S. Special envoy to Syria James Jeffrey told reporters that Washington was moving “faithfully and as rapidly” as possible, but warned against unilateral action in the region.
The YPG-led Syrian Democratic Forces has said it will pull back up to 14 km in some areas, but Turkey says the United States agreed that the safe zone should extend 30 km into Syria. Erdogan has said up to 2 million Syrian refugees could return to that area. Washington has expelled Turkey from its F-35 jet program over the deal and has not ruled out sanctions, despite Trump’s sympathetic comments.
Turkish markets have been watching Erdogan’s trip closely for any signs that a meeting between the NATO allies could dispel the threat of U.S. sanctions over the S-400 deal.
