Turkish soldiers entered outer districts of north Syria's Manbij as part of an agreement with the U.S., local sources reported Monday, according to Daily Sabah.

The Turkish convoy is reportedly escorted by a U.S. helicopter.

Earlier, a Manbij roadmap was announced after a meeting in Washington between Foreign Minister Mevlüt ÇavuÅŸoÄŸlu and U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.

The deal focuses on the withdrawal of the PKK-affiliated People's Protection Units (YPG) from the northern Syrian city and stability in the region.
