Ankara warns western countries with regards to arming terrorist groups in Iraq and Syria, as arms and weapons are transferred to the PKK and pose threat to the country's national security.
Considered as one of the most commonly used light anti-tank weapons in the world, the AT4, is made by Sweden-based Saab Bofors Dynamics.
Founded in 1978, the PKK has waged a decades long bloody campaign against Turkey.
The PKK - listed as a terrorist organization by Turkey, the U.S., and the EU - resumed its armed campaign in July 2015 after a brief reconciliation period.
Since then, the PKK has been responsible for the deaths of some 1,200 security personnel and civilians, including women and children, while more than 4,000 security personnel and over 2,000 civilians have been injured.
