News agencies re-published old news about PUK’s

dismissed Mr. Habib for accusing him to be a spy for
the Kurdish refugees to serve his government and his
party. In an interview with PUKmedia correspondent
in Stockholm, Mr. Habib said “I surprised when this
news has been published again. This matter has
happened in July 2007, and was first published in a
Turkmen site. Today, once more I deny this news as I
did in July.”
“What have been published in the Swedish Media is
that I have helped the Kurdish refugees, and the
word “spy” wasn’t mentioned. The hidden hands have
either forged the news, or they do not know the
Swedish language. I have done my duty in helping my
pupil and showing the truth of their requests. Once
again I say that the Spy word wasn’t mentioned in
any Media. I don’t know from where they brought this
word”, he added.
