Kurdish militants deny responsibility for Turkey attack

PanARMENIAN.Net - Kurdish militants said on Tuesday, Aug 21 they were not responsible for a car bomb that killed nine people in the southeastern town of Gaziantep near Turkey's border with Syria late on Monday, according to Reuters.

"Our fighters have nothing to do with this explosion," Firat News, a website close to the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) militant group, cited the PKK as saying in a statement.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the explosion, which officials said was caused by a remote-controlled car bomb, but southeastern Turkey has seen frequent attacks by the PKK, designated a terrorist group by Turkey, the United States and European Union.
