Turkey's foreign minister said after talks with Syria's de facto leader in Damascus on Sunday that there was no room for Kurdish YPG militants in Syria's future and that they must disband and that all sanctions on Damascus must be lifted for the country to rebuild.
Speaking alongside Syria's new leader Ahmad al-Sharaa, Hakan Fidan said that the new administration in Damascus had said it could take the initiative in managing Islamic State prisoners in northeast Syria, a job the U.S.-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), led by the YPG, were carrying out until now.
