In this photo taken from the Turkish side of the border between Turkey and Syria, in Akcakale, southeastern Turkey, a Turkish soldier stands on an armoured personnel carrier as in the background a flag of the Kurdish People's Protection Units, or YPG, is raised over the town of Tal Abyad, Syria, Tuesday, June 16, 2015. Kurdish fighters with the YPG along with their allies Free Syrian Army, took full control of Tal Abyad on Tuesday, dealing a major blow to the Islamic State group's ability to wage war in Syria. Mopping up operations have started to make the town safe for the return of residents, after more than a year of State group militants holding control of the town.(AP Photo/Lefteris Pitarakis)
