IRGC ready to encounter any border aggression
IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency
Tehran, Aug 21, IRNA -- Iran will confront any aggression on its border regions, ground force commander of the Islamic Revolution Guard Corpse told Tehran-based foreign diplomats on Sunday.
Describing Iran’s latest moves to counter PJAK terrorist group in northwest border regions, Colonel Ahmadi stressed the importance of providing security in the border regions and protecting the border lines.
“Some 397 people, mostly indigenous Kurds have lost their lives in PJAK raids. In the meantime, unfortunately some European countries have sheltered the ringleaders of this terrorist group and continue to support its inhumane activities,” he said.
PEJAK is a militant Marxist Kurdish group with bases in the mountainous regions of northern Iraq which has been carrying out numerous attacks in western Iran, southern Turkey and the northeastern parts of Syria. Most experts describe PJAK as an offshoot of the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK).
