Syrian Democratic Council (SDC), the U.S.-backed Syrian Kurdish party in control of northeastern Syria, is prepared to hold talks with the Syrian government over the future of the area, senior Kurdish officials said on June 6.

Turkey and the United States recently took an important step in the right direction by endorsing the road map for Syria's Manbij province that will lead to the withdrawal of the People's Protection Units (YPG) at a meeting between Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo in Washington. 

NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg on June 6 said he welcomed a Turkish-U.S. agreement on a road map for the northern Syrian city of Manbij foreseeing the removal of the People's Protection Units (YPG) from the area. 

The Syrian Kurdish People's Protection Units (YPG) is set to leave the northern Syrian city of Manbij following a roadmap reached between the U.S. and Turkey, a U.S. spokeswoman told reporters on June 6.

Turkey and the United States have endorsed a road map over the withdrawal of the People's Protection Units (YPG) from Manbij province of Syria after months-long negotiations, the Turkish foreign ministry announced after the meeting between two sides' foreign ministers in Washington on June 4.

The Turkish and U.S. foreign ministers are expected to outline a road map for Syria's Manbij province when they meet in Washington on June 4, with Turkey pushing for the withdrawal of the Syrian Kurdish People's Protection Units (YPG). 

There were clashes between refugees at the Skaramangas hotspot near Athens early on Tuesday morning.
