Unknown groups in Turkey reportedly burn Georgia-bound Iranian trucks

Iranian trucks transporting goods to Georgia through Turkey currently prefer the route through Armenia, although the roads are more inconvenient because of the mountainous relief, Akunq.net reports, quoting its sources.

The reason is that the Iranian trucks have been burnt by unknown armed groupings in Turkey over the past 4-5 months.

The source reports, quoting Iranian drivers, that 40-50 trucks have been burnt in Turkey over the past months. They are not certain, however, who stands behind this – state officials or PKK militants.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
