The Turks set a timetable?

I'm normally pretty suspicious of KUNA (Kuwait's state news org,) but as it is referencing something on Turkish TV, I give this a little more weight.
The Turkish military has set a "specific timetable" for trans-borders operations including intrusions into northern Iraqi, Turkish NTV news website reported Friday.....

The plan, envisaging the intrusion of thousands of Turkish troops into northern Iraqi areas to hunt rebel Kurds, is about to be a realty, according to the report.....

The army will keep following up closely the developments of the situation till the end of April, then it will start moving in, it noted.

Since March, the army is carrying out a large-scale campaign against the PKK bases and militants in Turkey's southeastern provinces.

US envoy David Satterfield arrived in Ankara on Friday.
