White House spokesperson Dana Perino has confirmed that talks in Washington between Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan and US President George W. Bush have focused on the arrangement of intelligence efforts from US forces in Iraq aimed at allowing Turkey to engage in an operation against PKK terror forces in Iraq.
In a statement to reporters, Perino noted that high level talks between Turkish and American officials revolved partially around shoring up assistance from the US to Turkey that would allow Turkey to engage in "limited and targeted" action against the PKK presence in northern Iraq. Said Perino "I believe that Ankara has understood our determination to help in the elimination of the PKK."
