Istanbul, Oct 29, 2019 (AFP) — Turkish-Russian joint patrols will verify whether Syrian Kurdish forces have withdrawn from a proposed safe zone in northern Syria under a deal reached between Ankara and Moscow, the Turkish presidency said on Tuesday.
"The time is up," Fahrettin Altun, communications director at the presidency, wrote on Twitter.
"We will establish, through joint patrols, whether or not the terrorists have actually withdrawn," he said, referring to the Kurdish YPG militia.
