Driving Kurdish Militia out of Syria's Manbij Is Turkey's Priority: Deputy PM

Speaking to reporters after a cabinet meeting, Kurtulmus also said that using non-Arab elements to drive Daesh (ISIL) out of its Syrian stronghold of Raqqa would not contribute to peace in the region, Reuters reported. 

The US-backed Syria Democratic Forces (SDF), of which the YPG is a major component, said on Sunday it had launched an operation to push the extremists out of Raqqa.
