Turkey, US, Iraq agree on action plan against PKK

Officials from Turkey, the United States and Iraq have agreed on a joint plan to combat the outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), the US Embassy in Ankara has announced.

The agreement was the result of a trilateral security committee meeting held in İstanbul on Sunday, the embassy said in a statement late on Monday. “Participants had a useful exchange of views on the work of the Trilateral Security Committee and reiterated their strong commitment to combat PKK terrorism. In this regard, they have agreed on the trilateral action plan dated April 11, 2010,” the statement said. It did not elaborate on the content of the action plan but said: “The Trilateral Action Plan sets out the guidelines for the future work of the Committee and contains the actions that should be taken to facilitate joint efforts against the PKK. Participants have expressed their commitment to rapidly work on the implementation of the trilateral action plan.”
Turkish Interior Minister Beşir Atalay, Iraqi Minister of State for National Security Shirwan al-Waili and US Army Maj. Gen. Joseph Anderson, chief of staff, US Forces-Iraq, led the delegations participating in the meeting. It was the fifth meeting of the trilateral committee, which was first established in November 2008 to coordinate the three countries’ efforts to eliminate the PKK, which infiltrates Turkey from its bases in northern Iraq.
