Turkish FM: 'Pause of Turkey's op in Syria not cease-fire'

The pause of Turkey's anti-terror operation in Syria is not a cease-fire, cease-fire can only happen between the two legitimate sides, the Turkish foreign minister said on Thursday, APA reports quoting Anadolu Agency.

"Turkey will end the operation in northern Syria only after YPG/PKK terrorists leave [safe zone]," Mevlut Cavusoglu told a news conference.

"We [Turkey and the U.S.] agreed on collecting heavy weapons of YPG, destructing their positions and fortifications," Cavusoglu added.
