DISPATCHING PKK TROOPS IN KARABAKH INSENSIBLE
Turkish press has some kind of habit of accusing Armenia for anti-Turkish actions from time to time. The accusations for the most part are grounded with anti-Turkish conspiracies ascribed to Armenia.
This time the Turks chose to speak about "negotiations between PKK troops, suffering from unfavorable positions in North Iraq, and the Armenian authorities about new deployment bases". On December 3 "Zaman" newspaper publiched an article on this subject with a header of that sort, having as background a similar publication by "Aksam".
In sense of spreading dubitable information "Aksam" is a rather convenient newspaper, and is usually used for such matters by the authorities of Turkey, who prefer to "spare" more serious mass media. "Zaman", in its turn, is more cautious about slandering Armenia, in despite of being published in Azerbaijan, too.
In any case, according to "Zaman", the PKK troops were forced to leave North Iraq under the pressure of Turkey's military operations, after which a number of PKK commanders, Armenians by origin, decided to head to South Caucasus and take cover in Karabakh, "occupied by Armenia". Turkish intelligence, allegedly, succeeded to discover these plans.
Moreover, "Zaman" states that the PKK has established contact with Armenian Diaspora organizations, which promised to take the PKK members to some country in Europe and from there transport them to Nagorno-Karabakh. It is also said that the authorities of Armenia house Kurd immigrants from Syria and Lebanon on the territory of NKR and permits PKK to spread among them their newspapers and to broadcast radio.
It is explained that President of Turkey Abdullah Gul, during his visit to Caucasus in November 2007, took promises of Mikhail Saakashvili and Ilham Aliev to prevent PKK actions in South Caucasus. In the meanwhile a legislation bill on prevention of Kurdish invasion to Azerbaijan was submitted to "Milli Meclis", the parliament of Turkey. The bill is to be discussed one of these days.
Obviously, these explanations have nothing to do with the alleged Armenia-PKK contacts. The "explanations" speak rather about Turkey's efforts to consolidate Southern Caucasian states against PKK. Having no opportunity of including Armenia in this alliance, Turkey finds nothing better to do than blackmailing Armenia. Naturally, the Turkish authorities also seek to defame Armenia by its connection to PKK, which is considered by Turks a separatist and a terrorist organization.
How Armenia can benefit from deploying PKK forces in Nagorno-Karabakh and against whom the PKK militants are to struggle there remains a mystery. We have no idea whether the Government of Turkey has answers to those questions. One thing is certain: both the Armenian and the Kurdish questions are matters of great importance for Turkey, and issues of big politics.
