Turkey won’t let US stall operation east of Euphrates, FM Çavuşoğlu says

Turkey will clear People’s Protection Units (YPG) terrorists from east of the Euphrates like in Syria’s Afrin and Jarablus at any cost, Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu said Sunday.

“Turkey won’t allow U.S. to stall the process for the operation in east of Euphrates like they did in Manbij,” Çavuşoğlu said in Qurban Bayram (Feast of the Sacrifice), also known as Eid al-Adha, greetings in his hometown Antalya.

“The U.S. has not done its part in implementing the road map that we have approved of together,” he added.

Çavuşoğlu went on to say that Turkey will clear east of the Euphrates either with or without the U.S.

Turkey has promised a counter-terrorist operation east of the Euphrates in northern Syria, following two similar successful operations since 2016.

On Wednesday, Turkish military officials and their U.S. counterparts agreed that a safe zone in northern Syria would be a “peace corridor” for displaced Syrians longing to return home.

Both sides also agreed on the immediate implementation of measures to address Turkey’s security concern.

The officials also planned for a Joint Operations Center to be established in Turkey to coordinate and manage the establishment of the safe zone.

Turkey expects the creation of a 32-kilometer (20-mile) safe zone in northern Syria, which must be cleared of the YPG, the Syrian branch of the PKK. Ankara has warned that if establishment of such a zone is delayed, it will take cross-border military action to remove the terrorist threat at its southern border.

The U.S. has primarily partnered with the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), an umbrella organization in northeastern Syria in the anti-Daesh fight. The SDF is led by the YPG, the Syrian branch of the PKK, a designated terrorist organization in the U.S. and Turkey.

Turkey strongly opposes the YPG’s presence in Manbij, which has been a major sticking point in strained Turkey-U.S. relations due to the latter’s support for the YPG under the pretext of fighting Daesh. The U.S. has provided military training and given truckloads of military support to the YPG, despite its NATO ally’s security concerns.

To reduce tensions, Turkey and the U.S. agreed on a road map in June 2018 foreseeing the withdrawal of the YPG from Manbij and installing joint Turkish-American patrols, which began in November. However, the process has been sluggish as the terrorist group was still present in the city despite the three-month timetable set for implementing the deal.

Turkey previously carried out two cross-border operations west of the Euphrates River, Operation Euphrates Shield launched in August 2016 and Operation Olive Branch in January 2018, to drive terrorist groups, including the YPG and Daesh, from its borders.
