In a phone call with Russian counterpart, Türkiye's President calls for concrete steps to clear PKK/PYD/YPG terror group from northern Syria especially near Türkiye's border
Türkiye will take steps by completing roadmap for turning country into gas hub 'as soon as possible,' Erdogan tells Russian President Putin.
The Turkish president, in a phone call with his Russian counterpart, called for concrete steps to clear northern Syria of the PKK/PYD/YPG terror group. "The concrete steps should now be taken to clear PKK/PYD/YPG terror group especially from Tal Rifaat, Manbij in northern Syria, near Türkiye's border," President Recep Tayyip Erdogan told his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin in a phone call on Thursday, according to a statement by the Turkish Communications Directorate.
Türkiye is strengthening the infrastructure to turn the country into a gas hub and will be completing a roadmap "as soon as possible," Erdogan said. In its more than 35-year terror campaign against Türkiye, the PKK – listed as a terrorist organisation by Türkiye, the US, and EU – has been responsible for the deaths of over 40,000 people, including women, children, and infants. The YPG is the PKK's Syrian offshoot.
