The PJAK is an offshoot of the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) and considered a terrorist group in Iran.The 550-km, Iran-Turkey joint border is located in West Azarbaijan province.
The PJAK , a militant leftist-nationalist group has waged an intermittent armed struggle since 2004 against the Iranian government for self-determination. The group, labelled as terrorist by Iran and other western countries, including the United States, is believed to be an offshoot of the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) which is fighting a similar war against the Turkish government.
Unfortunately, Islamic Republic of Iran does not announce the name of terrorist groups that carry out terrorist operations in western Azerbaijan. Also, the, regime doesn’t broadcast these kind of news .As a result of this fact, minimal media cover the terrorist attack in South Azerbaijan regions.
