Turkey, US begin joint patrols in Syria as part of agreed safe zone

Hasan Unal, professor of Political Science and International Relations​ at Maltepe University, is talking about Turkey and the US begin joint patrols in Syria

Six Turkish armoured vehicles cross the border to join US troops in Syria for their first joint patrol under an agreement reached on August 7.

Armed Turkish military vehicles have crossed into northeast Syria to begin joint patrols with the United States Army as part of a planned so-called "safe zone" along the border. Turkey’s state-run Anadolu Agency said that six Turkish-flagged armoured vehicles on Sunday joined the US military convoy from Akcakale district of southeast Sanliurfa province in Turkey. The joint ground patrols were launched as part of the first phase of the "safe zone" plan agreed between the two countries last month, the agency added.

The United States and Turkey have begun joint patrols in northeastern Syria aimed at easing tensions between Ankara and U.S.-backed Kurdish forces. Six Turkish armored vehicles crossed the border to join U.S. troops in Syria for their first joint patrol under a deal reached between Washington and Ankara last month. The agreement aims to establish a "safe zone" between the Turkish border and areas east of the Euphrates river in Syria that are controlled by the Kurdish People's Protection Units.
