Azeri court rules to extradite PKK member to Turkey
BAKU – An Azerbaijani court ruled Wednesday to extradite the jailed Turkish citizen who is a member of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK).
But execution of the ruling was postponed until October 2011, when Kartal Kadri Abdullah’s sentence ends.
Abdullah was sentenced to 11 years in jail by the top court of Azerbaijan’s Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic in 2000. He was charged with border trespassing, smuggling and illegal possession of firearms.
In 1990-92, Abdullah was involved in PKK’s operations against the Turkish armed forces.
