U.S. weapons for PKK?

Written by Anti-Terror Group
Monday, 24 September 2007
Turkish authorities in the past months have protested to the U.S. that they had seized American arms from militants of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK). In July, four PKK militants, who handed over themselves to Turkish security forces after escaping from a PKK camp in northern Iraq, claimed that they had seen U.S. vehicles delivering weapons to the PKK camp. The claim was widely reported in Turkish media and debated in Ankara. Turkish Ambassador to Washington Nabi Şensoy and now President Abdullah Gül in the following weeks said that U.S. weapons had been turning up in the hands of members of the PKK, while Turkey officially asked the U.S. about the validity of such claims. U.S. Ambassador to Ankara Ross Wilson responded that the allegations were being investigated, though he reiterated that the U.S. would not supply guns to the PKK, an organization officially designated as a terrorist group by the U.S.
