Iran will not allow terrorist groups to turn the northern borders of the country into security-threatening areas. Iranian Foreign Ministry

The spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the IRI Saeed Khatibzadeh commented upon circulating information regarding a move of the PKK fighters, as well as PJAK (The Kurdistan Free Life Party. – Translator’s note) and Syrian Wahhabi terrorists, to the Caucasus. “Islamic Republic of Iran will by no means allow the terrorist organizations to transform the regions adjacent to our northern borders into a threat to our national security. A transfer of clashes to the Caucasus will bring a much larger catastrophe than the Karabakh conflict,” he stated.
