A NEW PROPAGANDA WAR AGAINST ARMENIA
The Turkish government that has recently started acting against
the `Kurdish Labor Party' in Northern Iraq has initiated a new
propaganda war against Armenia.
According to the Turkish `sources' the leadership of the `Kurdish
Labor Party' that has been once expelled from Syria and has found
itself in a terrible situation in Northern Iraq at present, have
allegedly come to a decision to shift their fighters to Armenia over
the European Countries, later to transfer them to the `occupied
territories' affiliated to Nagorno Karabakh.
As a trick to make the `Kurdish Labor Party' retreat and meanwhile
accuse Armenia and Nagorno Karabakh of being linked with terrorists
the Turkish propaganda is quite understandable and very transparent.
Otherwise what would be the use of publishing information about the
intentions and plans of the `Kurdish Labor Party', thus making it
difficult for them to catch their fighters, accused of terrorism.
It is clear that the article appeared in `Huriet' according to
which `Kurdish Labor Party' has allegedly placed its bases in
Southern Caucasus and that an Armenian terrorist is allegedly showing
them financial assistance, is also aimed at linking `Kurdish Labor
Party' with Armenia. This is also a very familiar propaganda trick,
because once the Turkish journalists were trying to find Armenian
roots in the origins of the leader of `Kurdish Labor Party' Abdullah
Ojalan or as they call him `Ermany Apo'.
Of course we could ignore this unsuccessful propaganda campaign by
the Turkish Mass Media, had official Baku not immediately responded
to this `information'. Based on the `outflow of the information' in
the Turkish press, head of the Foreign Relations Department of the
Azeri President's staff Novruz Mamedov, has already announced on
December 5 that: `Azerbaijan demands from the international
organizations to investigate the information about the settlement of
the fighting detachments of `Kurdish Labor Party' terrorist
organization in the territory of Nagorno Karabakh.
But the queer doesn't end here: stating that Armenia has allegedly
inhabited the Armenians and Kurdish people from Syria and Iraq and
that at present the turn of the `Kurdish Labor Party' has come,
Novruz Mamedov confessed,' that Azerbaijan is concerned about the
livelihood of terrorist organizations in Northern Iraq and Turkey and
during the recent visit of the Turkish President and prime Minister
to Azerbaijan the two sides confirmed their mutual cooperation and
assistance in the fight against terrorism.'
It was recently that Azerbaijan raised a hullabaloo saying that
thousands of Kurds are shifting to the eastern part of Azerbaijan
from the territory of Turkey and settle down there. They even brought
concrete data about the huge number of the Kurds settled down in the
regions situated in the northern and northeastern parts of the
Republic of Nagorno Karabakh. What happened with those Kurds? Aren't
they linked with the 'Kurdish Labor Party'?
Why don't `Huriet' and Novruz Mamedov utter a word, when the
information about the penetration of the thousands of Kurds has been
widely spread by the Mass Media of those countries? How can Armenians
agree to the settlement of the forces of `Kurdish Labor Party' in the
liberated territories affiliated to NKR, when the opposite part of
the fighting line is already inhabited with thousands of Kurds?
As a verification of this fact we can bring the evaluation of the
famous Azerbaijani opposition activist, director of the `Institute of
Peace and Democracy' Leyla Yunus to the prevocational article in
`Huriet'.
The Azerbaijani Defender of Public Rights has declared that
Azerbaijan itself becomes a transit country for many terrorists,
because of the transparency of the Turkish - Azerbaijani border. She
even reported to the correspondent of newspaper `Zerkalo' that the
following has been verified due to their investigation: strange
people, arousing serious doubt have been settled down in the villages
of Nakhijevan Autonomous Republic and Geranbo region, which used to
be inhabited by Armenians. We have serious doubts that they are
Kurds, `...because they don't communicate with the local people and are
under the police surveillance'.
The data reported by Leyla Yunus once again prove that Azerbaijani
government; especially Aliev's governing clan still keeps his touches
with their kin 'Kurdish Labor Party' dating back to Heydar Aliev's
years of power, still in Soviet times.
The recent Turkish-Azerbaijani hullabaloo regarding Armenia's
`intentions' to shift the fulcrums of the 'Kurdish Labor Party' in
the liberated territories affiliated to Nagorno Karabakh, over again
proves that in their efforts of propaganda campaign on the state
level our two neighbors have gone beyond all the limits.
