Reports on "confirmation of PKK bases in Karabakh" ridiculous
The information circulated by the Azeri media causes laughter, head of the division of information and propaganda at the NKR Defense Ministry, lieutenant colonel Senor Asratyan told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter when asked to comment on APA's publication that "the Israeli special forces confirm existence of Kurdish rebels in Karabakh."

"It makes no sense to comment on such rubbish," he said.

For his part, Armenian political scientist Levon Melik-Shahnazaryan said that the information perfectly fits the 'intellect' of Turkish Show TV employees, who produced a portion of humor understandable for them only. "Not the Armenian authorities but Israeli special forces should react on the canard which gambles on their reputation," he said.

Quoting Turkish Show TV, the Azeri Press Agency reported that "after Turkish air strikes the PKK terrorists fled to Armenia but not to Iraq. The Israeli special forces confirmed that Kurdish rebels settle in Fizuli and Lachin regions of Azerbaijan."
