ANKARA
The head of the regional Kurdish administration in Iraq's north, Massoud Barzani, on Friday said that he did not speak with the U.S. administration on terrorist organization PKK's giving up arms.
Barzani replied to a question of the AA correspondent asking him if he shared his decision not to let PKK stay in the region with the U.S. administration during a recent visit to that country.
"Our decision is very clear. I speak based on my experience. The period for arms and weapons is over. If the PKK prefers arms and not dialogue, I will not let them stay in my region. I have not discussed this issue with anyone during my recent trip to the U.S.. The decision is mine alone," Barzani stressed.
