But in a statement last week, US Ambassador to Turkey Ross Wilson suggested that his country was involved in the Octopus operation, which followed a series of meetings between US and European officials. "What we are trying to do in Europe aims at ensuring that the financial sources of the PKK will be cut and that the main leaders of the PKK are detained," the US diplomat was quoted as saying.
Međutim, u saopštenju od prošle nedelje, američki ambasador u Turskoj Ros Vilson rekao je da njegova zemlja učestvuje u operaciji “Oktopod”, koja je usledila posle serije sastanaka između američkih i evropskih zvaničnika. “Ono što pokušavamo da uradimo u Evropi ima za cilj da se finansijski resursi PKK odseku, a glavne vođe PKK uhapse,” rekao je američki diplomata.
