ANKARA, Turkey, Dec. 1 (UPI) -- The Kurdistan Workers Party may be planning a move to Azerbaijan from northern Iraq, Turkish intelligence reports say.
Leaders of the party, usually known by its initials, PKK, have been discussing the move with Armenian officials, Today's Zaman reported. They would relocate to the Nagorno-Karabakh region, which is under Armenian control.
The Turkish parliament recently authorized military operations across the border into Iraqi Kurdistan. In response, the United States and the Iraqi government have put pressure on Kurdish leaders to deny the PKK a base.
A former PKK member has told Turkish intelligence that most of the camps in Iraqi Kurdistan have been evacuated.
The Kurds are the world's largest ethnic group without a country where they are dominant. Several countries have large Kurdish populations.
