Turkish lawmakers pressed a group of visiting U.S. senators on the issue of the presence of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) in neighboring Iraq.
�The United States has remained ineffective in the fight against the PKK,� opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) deputy Onur Öymen reportedly told the delegation, which was led by Sen. John Warner, head of the U.S. Senate Armed Services Committee, at a meeting closed to the press. �Following the Sept. 11 attacks, President George W. Bush said they were those �against us' and those who were �with us.' Turkey was with the United States. How about the United States? Are you on our side or the terrorists' side?�"
