ArmInfo. Armenian Defense Minister Mikael Haroutunyan categorically
refutes the information by Turkish and Azerbaijani sources saying
that PKK allegedly has exercise centers in the territory of Armenia.
In response to ArmInfo's question, the minister said: 'There are no
Kurdish bases in Armenia.' He stressed that Kurds have long since
been living in Armenia exclusively as peaceful citizens. Existence
of military or exercise bases in the country is out of question. At
the same time the minister advised Azerbaijan and Turkey to care
for themselves.
'There are Kurdish bases in Armenia, but they are stock-raising ones,'
the minister joked.
APA has recently disseminated information that a Turkish journalist
Ardan Zenturk blamed Armenia for supporting Kurdish movement in the
Star newspaper. In particular, he wrote that 'part of PKK's exercise
centers and the Bureau regulating international relations are in
Armenia. Ammunition of the terrorist organization is also delivered
from Armenia.'
