On Monday, Turkey brought US Ambassador to Ankara, David M. Satterfield, to fight the US position on the murdering of 13 Turks in Iraq who were confined Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) rebels, considered powerless by Turkish supportive of administrative media. The news was declared by the Ankara Foreign Ministry.

“The US Ambassador, David Satterfield, has been brought to the service, and he has been educated in the most grounded terms of our situation on the American articulation,” Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s Foreign Ministry said in a statement. Turkey reported on Sunday fighters from the banned Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) executed the detainees, including Turkish military and police authorities, in the midst of military help in northern Iraq where the gathering was keeping them.

US said it remained by individual NATO part Turkey and that it denounced the killings on the off chance that it was affirmed that duty lay with the PKK. Turkey, effectively aggravated by Washington’s partnership with Kurdish contenders in adjoining Syria known as People’s Protection Units or YPG, was enraged by the restriction of the US report.

Turkish President Erdogan reprimanded the United States for supporting “terrorists”.” The explanation made by the United States is a sham,” Erdogan reacted on Monday. “You said you didn’t uphold psychological militants, when indeed you are their ally and behind them,” Erdogan told in broadcast comments, scrutinizing the White House, which neglected to trust Ankara’s record of the occasion.

Turkey toward the beginning of February dispatched a military activity against PKK fields in northern Iraq that Erdogan reported on Monday was expected to a limited extent to free the 13 hostages. At least 48 Kurdish outfitted gathering components were likewise destroyed during the activity, as indicated by Turkey’s Defense Minister Hulusi Akar. The PKK, named a “psychological oppressor” bunch by the US and Turkey’s other Western partners, has been directing a furnished resistance to Ankara since 1984. The Erdogan system is denounced by global NGOs and the UN for ethnic purging against the Kurdish minority.

The White House on Sunday said it “laments the passing of Turkish residents” yet was sitting tight for additional affirmation that Ankara’s record of the 13 men’s demise was certifiable. The PKK said the 13 passed on when Turkish powers bombarded the natural hollow where the men were detained.” If reports of the demise of Turkish regular people because of the PKK, an assigned fear based oppressor association, are affirmed, we censure this activity in the most grounded potential terms,” the State Department closed, affirming that Ankara and Washington future relations are dismantling.
