Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of a visit to military bases in northwestern Iran on Saturday, Brigadier General Mohammad Pakpour denied as "irresponsible and baseless" the allegations made by a Turkish official that the PKK elements are on Iranian soil.
A few days ago, Interior Minister of Turkey Suleyman Soylu had claimed that there are around 100 "terrorists" in Iran's Dambat, near Turkey, which "constitutes a real danger."
