Turkey expects the U.S. will approve its request for drones it can use on its own in the fight against the Kurdistan Workers’ Party, known as the PKK, according to Turkish Ambassador Namik Tan.
Drones are among the requests Turkey has made of the U.S. to help thwart the PKK, which both countries list as a terrorist group, Nam said. The PKK operates largely in southeastern Turkey, near the borders with Syria and Iraq, where Turkish forces fight the group.
