Beginning at noon on Wednesday, Russian military police and Syrian border guards will move in to facilitate the removal of YPG members and weapons to beyond the zone in a mission that should take about six days, according to the deal. The YPG, the key component in the Syrian Democratic Forces that have for years fought alongside U.S. troops against Islamic State, will also leave the towns of Tel Rifaat and Manbij under the deal struck between Erdogan and President Vladimir Putin in the Russian Black Sea resort of Sochi.
Ankara regards the YPG as terrorists because of their ties to the outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party , which is waging an insurgency in southeast Turkey.
