The statement of the NKR National Assembly Committee of Foreign Affairs
28-01-2008 11:20:19 - KarabakhOpen
On January 22 information was posted on www.Panarmenian.net that
according to the Turkish newspaper Cumhuriyet, the deputy foreign
minister of Armenia Arman Kirakosyan stated in the rumors on `existence
of PKK bases in Nagorno-Karabakh' had been spread by the British media
4 years ago.
According to Cumhuriyet, the Armenian deputy foreign minister said the
areas described as bases are in reality villages of Kurds and Yezidis
in the region.
Proceeding from Arman Kirakosyan's statement, the Azerbaijani newspaper
Zerkalo concludes on January 25 that Armenia admits the existence of
PKK military bases in Nagorno-Karabakh.
Considering that the Azerbaijani media are inclined for offering
desirable information instead of the truth, and that the main source of
information of the Zerkalo is the president administration and the
ministry of national security of Azerbaijan, we nevertheless doubt that
the Armenian deputy foreign minister Arman Kirakosyan could make such a
statement.
We suppose that the Turkish newspaper Cumhuriyet extracted some words
by Mr. Arman Kirakosyan from the context.
We would like the ministry of foreign affairs to comment officially on
the statement ascribed to Mr. Kirakosyan, which we think will bring
clarity into this sensitive issue.
