ANKARA, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 24th Sep, 2018 ) :Turkish and US troops on Monday completed 50th round of patrols in northern Syrian city Manbij, as part of a deal to rid the area of the YPG/PKK terror group.
In a statement, the Turkish General Staff said forces of both countries conducted separate coordinated patrols in the region between areas liberated by Turkey's Operation Euphrates Shield and Manbij.
