Osman said his rebel group would like such a zone set up in 90 km (55 mile) stretch of the border between the towns of Jarablus and Azaz. But if a safe zone happened for the security of our people at the Turkish-Syrian border, this is something excellent that would please us," he said. There must be unity of opinions among Turkey, Russia and America ... if they agree on this matter then there will be a secure zone." The Kurdish YPG militia has already captured swathes of territory from Islamic State with support from the US-led coalition against the group. The Turkey-backed rebels say they want to capture the city from the Kurdish-allied forces.
