Armenia does provide the PKK with arms and training but the creation of an autonomous region in Armenian-occupied territory seems like a massive step that would further complicate an already unstable region. Afterall we've seen this week that Turkey will strike the PKK across it borders. Armenia must surely know that such a step would be inviting direct conflict with Turkey...maybe thats the plan ?

I would take any information coming from either side in this region with a HUGE grain of salt...including this Azeri claim (there is an excellent chance that it is nothing more than propaganda.) Karabagh has no land border with Turkey...anyone trying to get there to attack Turkey has to transit through Armenia proper (whose border with Turkey is closed) or through Azerbaijan itself. They could train in Karabagh and fly via Armenia to northern Iraq (where the PKK is currently.) The Armenians might be telling the truth.

Nevertheless, as I've mentioned this story is interesting yet highly suspect.

The same applies to statements made by journalists, think tanks and bloggers. Foreign Ministry statements of any country are just one element in assessing the veracity of an issue.

Here we have an Azeri post-doctoral student writing about Armenia and Nagorno Karabagh, relying primarily on Turkish and Azeri sources. The Armenian Foreign Ministry has categorically denied the claim both for Armenia and for NK. http://www.panarmenian.net/news/eng/?nid=24288 Its interesting how this story is being kept alive.
