a much anticipated stock listing joint u.s. and turkish patrols are getting underway in northern syria never areas covered by a planned buffer zone turkey wants to extend its military presence along the border and allow displaced syrians to return home u.s. back kurdish forces withdrew from the area under last month's agreement that had 10 year the turkey syria border so jamal turkey and the u.s. haven't really been on the same page does this indicate that they are getting in more of an agreement. well you sense a positive step that's how it's being described in the sense that the true nato allies and essentially the 2 not just militaries within nato all these parts are going to work together there was the establishment of a joint command room between the thai kitchen and the u.s. military several weeks ago and now today just now is the beginning of this for us

joint patrol but it's in a very limited area on the syrian side all of the talk to syria or there obviously the terrorists have insisted that's been used to be a much greater than the area that is secured by its military in order to one ensure that there is a safe zone for displaced syrians to live free from fear of from bargain but also true to root out what's in described as terrorist organization fold groups like i still in splinter groups from it but also groups like the p.k. k. and other kurdish separatists who have used the areas in one space on the syrian side of the border it's wrong to attacks inside sort of keep that's where the points of contention has been or anything publicly from the americans who have actually supported and given logistical support through kurdish separatist groups
1:57 pm
there and the turks have insisted that a nice even if the americans don't agree on cooperating then they would actually go ahead unilaterally and it seems the finally the americans have agreed somewhat so how they stop additional zakaria's so how do these patrols play in to be establishment and be safe sounds. well in order for it to happen essentially to establish no safe zones you need to establish your authority in those areas parts simply on the turks what they've been doing operant so now they've been clearing liver so to speak of land along the border so towns like and bob jobless and so forth have been cleared out initially by free syrian army or armed opposition groups opposed to bashar al assad with the tactical support of the turkish military who has been calm and clear the area of specific groups that it's has been targeting but it what it wants to do now
1:58 pm
is essentially push all the way up to the eastern side to be afraid to use the euphrates river rather inside syria and establish and hosts out posts one of the turkish military so that it can also not only root out these groups but also ensure that the russian air force the syrian army doesn't targets syria syrian displaced syrians there once that has happened the more than 2000000 refugees within turkey it wants to start seeing them move back into those. areas so for that to go on to happen it's much more than just having joint patrols here and there are essentially establishing turkish military presence inside syria with the approval of the international community. with the latest force and turkey
