PKK's Armenians 'adopted by Turks'

Armenians serving the PKK terror group presenting themselves as Turks are actually adoptees of Turks, the head of an Azerbaijani religious group says.
These people are the descendants of Armenians killed by the Kurds in the mountains after being deported from Turkey during World War I, the Believers Union chairman Agil Alasgar told the press.
"Although they were adopted by the Turks and changed their surnames, they haven't changed their essence. Armenians have been staging acts of terror against the Turks as part of the PKK since 1980."
Chairwoman of the Azeri-Turkish Women's Union, Tanzilya Rustamkhanly, said an inflow of Kurds to Azerbaijan has been observed of late.
"Over 4,000 of them have come here presenting themselves as students. This could be a serious threat both to Azerbaijan and Turkey," she added.
