    AZERBAIJAN AGAIN PLAYS KURDISH CARD

    A1+
    24 February, 2008

    Several citizens of Turkey with Kurdish descent, who represent PKK
    continue to claim that soldiers and officers of the Armed force of
    Azerbaijan are involved in the military operations of the Turkish Army
    in the Northern Iraq. According to our information, Azeri military
    personal are involved in combat operation in the Turkish military
    uniform. The silence from the Azerbaijani side enabled PKK members to
    provide new information in which again it is confirmed that Azerbaijani
    military are involved in the operations of the Turkish army in the
    Northern Iraq. According to those sources circa 80-100 Azerbaijani
    soldiers and officers are currently on the Iraqi territories and
    contiguous territories and at he moment Azeri forces have loses;
    one soldiers was killed, two other are wounded and one is missing.

    Couple of days ago in several Azerbaijani mass media again information
    appeared after the short pause about the allegations on the presence of
    PKK military bases in NKR and liberated territories. Particularly with
    several statements appeared Speaker of Azerbaijani ministry of Foreign
    affairs, military analytics and Azeri news agencies referred to Israeli
    intelligence to confirm this information. In fact new referrences to
    the Kurdish topic in Azerbaijan indirectly confirm the information
    on the Azerbaijani military presence in the Northern Iraqi territories.

    The reliability of this information provided by the several
    representatives of the PKK is confirmed by the fact that in the
    framework of the military cooperation agreement signed between Turkey
    and Azerbaijan, Azerbaijani military personal are actively involved
    in the combat operations of the Turkish Armed forces against the PKK
    militants and also are present on the territory of the Northern Cyprus
    occupied by Turkish army since 1974.

    It should be noted that the presence of PKK combatants on Azerbaijani
    soil and in the outskirts of Baku several times became a cause for
    diplomatic scandals and demarches between Turkey and Azerbaijan,
    after Turkish intelligence and military presented bold evidences on
    this matter.
