Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan made a statement yesterday similar to that of Turkey's top military commander Gen. Yasar Buyukanit who had lashed out at (blasted) accusations suggesting that Turkey ended its cross-border ground operation (veya its military incursion) against rebels from the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) in northern Iraq due to pressure from the U.S. government. In his statement, Turkish PM said he would step down from his post if the allegations were proven true.
