Chris Shays, a member of the U.S. House of Representatives, said his country have provided Turkey with aerial images and coordinates of the camps of the terrorist organization PKK, and Turkish military has taken action based on that intelligence.

"The United States is handling the problem and cooperating with Turkey in its fight against PKK terrorism. We are doing our best to locate PKK camps," he told Voice of America Radio.

"We are taking images of the camps by using satellites and convey them to Turkey with their exact coordinates. We have told the Iraqi government that we would not let the PKK use Iraq's north as base for its attacks inside Turkey and told the regional Kurdish administration to deal with the PKK problem," said Shays, who is also a member of a subcommittee on national security, emerging threats and international relations.

"PKK is definitely a terrorist organization and Europe should better understand this fact," he said.
