Turkey on Wednesday expressed its satisfaction with the decision by the United States to provide financial rewards for information on three senior members of the PKK.
The Turkish Foreign Ministry said Ankara was positive about the US decision and expected Washington to support the decision to take concrete action in Syria and Iraq in terms of the war against the PKK and its arms.
On Tuesday, the United States offered up to $ 5 million in bonuses for information on three top PKK members.
Washington has allocated $ 5 million to provide information on Murat Qurelan, $ 4 million for Jamil Pike, and $ 3 million for Kalkan's rotation.
The announcement was made after the visit of US Deputy Secretary of State Matthew Palmer.
According to the Turkish Interior Ministry, the three PKK members are also on Ankara's "most wanted terrorists" list and are described by the ministry as party leaders.
Turkey, the United States and the European Union have branded the PKK a terrorist organization and have killed more than 40,000 people since the PKK began its rebellion in Turkey in 1984.
Relations between Turkey and the United States have been improving since the release of US priest Andrew Branson from prison last month.
The two countries exchanged a week ago the lifting of sanctions on government officials, imposed in August on the Branson case.
Washington announced this week that Turkey would receive a temporary exemption from US-imposed sanctions on Iran.
Turkish and US troops began joint maneuvers last week in the Syrian city of Manbij, which both sides agreed to clear up from militants. Turkey has already announced that the United States is delaying implementation of the plan.
