Turkey denies secret agreement with U.S. over Manbij

The Spokesman for Turkish foreign ministry has denied any Ankara-Washington secret deal over the Syrian northern city of Manbij. Tanju Bilgic stated that Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu has not used such a term in his interview with Le Monde.

Bilgic went on to say that there is cooperation between Turkish and American military officials but denied to reveal the details of the cooperation. Bilgic’s remarks came after Turkish and European media reported that there seems to be a secret deal between the U.S. and Turkey based on the released interview: The city of Manbij is mostly under the control of the Syrian Kurdish forces of Peoples’ Protection Units (YPG), something that has created great concern for Ankara and Turkey worries about the advances of the Kurdish forces despite Arab, Turkmen, U.S. and European support from the group. www.mesop.de
