RA National Security Service issued a message, which specifically states:

"Taking into account the groundless criticism of the RA National Security Service regarding the extradition of Atilla Çiçek and Hussein Yıldırım of Kurdish nationality to Turkey by some individuals who carry out socio-political activities on social networks and through various means of mass media, we inform you that the circulating false news not only does not correspond reality but also have no legal basis. Thus, an attempt is made to target the NSS."

It is reported that the process of handing over persons convicted within the framework of criminal proceedings is outside the scope of the Service's powers.

In a statement, the National Security Service also urges to refrain from the impermissible practice of disseminating disinformation that tarnishes the reputation of state institutions and undermines the external security of the country and warns that the Service will investigate the real motives and hidden motives of those who spread false news through verification operations within the scope of its powers.

It should be reminded that today it became known that Armenia handed over two Kurdish fighters to Turkey.
