By Trend
On the eve of a possible Turkish counter-terrorism operation in northern Syria, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and his U.S. counterpart Donald Trump on Friday agreed on the need for more effective coordination in Syria, according to an official statement, Trend reports citing Daily Sabah.
According to the statement by the Turkish presidency, the two leaders discussed bilateral issues, security and anti-terrorism issues, especially regarding recent developments in Syria, during a phone call.
President Erdoğan expressed Turkey's legitimate concern over the actions and presence of the PKK-affiliated People's Protection Units (YPG) in northern Syria.
Earlier this week, Erdoğan announced that Turkey would launch another anti-terrorist operation in northern Syria, targeting the area east of the Euphrates within a few days.
