The CPJ sources don't state the fact that "Turkish Hezbollah" is an entirely different group than Lebanese group. They just say "Hezbollah".


The 3rd source does a better job of explaining who the "Turkish Hezbollah" are. They are indeed a separate Kurdish group located in eastern Turkey.

They are also Sunni Muslims while Lebanon's Hezbollah are Shite.

Interesting to note. Hezb Allah just means "party of God" ... So not surprised there at different groups aligning themselves to the same name.
