The key takeaways from the US-Turkey agreement, explained
Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan meets with US Vice President Mike Pence at the Presidential Palace in Ankara, Turkey, October 17, 2019.
The agreement came nine days after Turkey launched its military operation in the region. As the US announced the withdrawal of its forces from Syria, many in Turkey saw it as a fulfilment of one of Ankara's long-standing demands. A hashtag in Turkish, #turkiyekazandi, meaning ‘Turkey won’ was trending in first place on Turkey’s Twitter minutes after a copy of the Erdogan-Pence agreement was made public.
Turkey's role in NATO has been recognised twice in the agreement and specific emphasis is placed on maintaining unity amongst the alliance partners by using the “one for all and all for one” phrase. Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said that 32-kms deep safe zone will stretch to 440 kms along the Syrian border. In the past, both under the presidency of Obama and Trump, the US has repeatedly said it understands Turkey’s concerns regarding the YPG and promised that the cities captured from Daesh with the help of the YPG would be returned to their original inhabitants. But the YPG continued to control the captured cities through its councils.
