Turkish army denied U.S. provided intelligence on Roboski
Turkish General Staff released a statement regarding the Wall Street Journal news on 16 May which stated ‘intelligence on Roboski was provided by U.S.drones’.
Underlining that the WSJ news doesn’t reflect the truth, the General Staff claimed that the first intelligence related to the Uludere attack was taken by Turkish unmanned aerial vehicles.
In a press statement before the U.S. visit for the NATO summit, Turkish President Abdullah Gül also evaluated the news about ‘intelligence on Roboski’. “We should trust our national sources - he said - and believe the statement made by our authorities in this respect. We received intelligence from external sources after making the first determinations by our own means. This is an ordinary process as we are in cooperation with the U.S. in the fight against terror.”
