The question lately has been “Will relations between Turkey and USA, Nato allies for a long time recover or not?”. Following Tillerson’s visit to Ankara positive signals have been received in this direction. In fact, Turkey’s Foreign Minister Çavuşoğlu who has given an interview to German newspaper Zeit recently has said “We have agreed with Americans about the stabilization of Manbij and the cities east of Euphrates. I will meet Foreign Secretary Tillerson on 19 March.”

Foreign Minister Cavusoglu, told Die Zeit that Turkey had been attacked from Manbij as well and added “But these attacks are finished. Now we have agreed with Americans to stabilize, Manbij and the cities east of the Euphrates. We have set up working groups for this. I will meet Foreign Minister Rex Tillerson on March 19th. We hope that the US will give up supporting terrorist organizations. They control 25 per cent of the country, but the majority of people in cities are Arabs. Rakka, for example… Who is in control of this city? YPG. Around 350 thousand Syrian Kurds expelled by YPG are living in Turkey at the moment”.
