U.S. Defense Secretary James Mattis on Thursday voiced strong support for Turkey's fight against the PKK after talks with Turkey's Prime Minister Binali Yildirim in London.
"We agree 100 percent with Turkey's concern about PKK ... and we support Turkey in its fight against PKK as a fellow NATO member," Mattis said, in comments which came after Turkey expressed anger over a U.S. decision to arm Kurdish fighters in Syria which it says are allied with the PKK.
