ANKARA, Dec 7 - Turkey and the United States have agreed to speed up efforts to put in place an agreement on Syria's Manbij by the end of the year, a working committee between the NATO allies said on Friday.
Earlier this year, Turkey and the United States reached a deal over Syria's Manbij, after months of disagreement, under which the Kurdish YPG militia is to completely withdraw from the town. Ankara, which considers the YPG a terrorist organization, says the withdrawal has yet to happen.
