AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): Commander of Ground Forces of the Islamic Revolution’s Guard Corps (IRGC) Brigadier-General Mohammad Pakpour reacted to claims made by a Turkish official with regard to the presence of Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) in Iran, saying it is unfounded and irresponsible.

Pakpour said that the IRGC has established security at borders with power, dignity, and exact monitoring.

Elaborating on the conditions at Iran-Turkey borders, he said Iranian and Turkish armed forces have good relations at borders.
