The New Anatolian: "The United States has told the Iraqi Kurdish leadership time is up and 'they have to do something against the PKK,' Kurdish sources reported.
The New Anatolian learnt that the U.S. is clearly concerned that the tide in Turkey is pushing the Turkish government to take action but no one expects any cross border operations before the elections.
The United States has also reportedly informed the Iraqi Kurds that it cannot prevent a Turkish military incursion into northern Iraq, Kurdish sources said.
The messages were reportedly conveyed to Iraqi Kurdish Regional President Massoud Barzani and Iraqi President Jalal Talabani by senior American officials in Iraq.
The Iraqi Kurds were told they do not have to openly fight against the PKK in the mountains but there is much they can do to curb PKK activities in their region. The Kurds were told 'between outright clashing with the PKK and total inactivity against it there is much you can do.'"
