White House spokesman Alistair Baskey condemned recent terrorist attacks by the PKK, which the US sees as a terror group, and encouraged them to renounce terrorism and resume talks with the Turkish government.
The comments come just a few days after Turkey launched assaults against Islamic State targets in Syria and Kurdish militants and Syria and Iraq, as it continued its military response to a deadly wave of violence.
