Abandoned YPG terror group positions have been spotted along the route of Turkish army's patrol in Manbij, a northern Syria city, according to Turkish security sources.
The sources, who spoke to Anadolu Agency on condition of anonymity due to restrictions on talking to the media, said Turkish and American patrolling is being conducted in accordance with meetings between the military officials of the two countries.
While patrolling in Manbij continues, YPG terror group's abandoned positions, which are on the route of Turkish army's patrol, can be seen in the city, the sources said.
Earlier on Wednesday, Turkish Armed Forces began a second round of patrolling in Manbij as part of the objective to rid the area of the YPG/PKK terror group.
The first patrols by both Turkish and U.S. troops in the region began on June 18.
The Manbij deal, which was made between Turkey and the U.S., focuses on the withdrawal of the PKK-affiliated YPG terror group from the northern Syrian city in order to stabilize the region.
The agreement was first announced after a meeting in Washington earlier in June between Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu and U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.
Should the model prove to be a success, Turkey will push for a similar arrangement in eastern Syria.
In its more than 30-year terror campaign against Turkey, the PKK has taken some 40,000 lives, including those of women and children. The YPG/PKK is its Syrian branch.
