Turkey’s foreign minister says Ankara is closely monitoring an agreement between the Syrian government and a U.S-backed Kurdish-led armed group.

Turkey's newly appointed military attaché in Syria would be meeting with the Syrian defense minister and that a Turkish military delegation is scheduled to visit the country in the coming days, says an official.

Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan welcomed an agreement between the Kurdish-led and U.S.-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) and Syria’s new government, saying its full implementation would contribute to security and stability in the country.
