The Pro-PKK Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) on Sunday falsely accused the Turkish military of setting "large swathes of forests" on fire on their official Twitter account.

Sharing photos from the wildfire in Turkey's western Antalya province that happened on the same day, HDP's tweet also claimed that the Turkish military razed mountain villages in Kurdish regions.

A similar tweet of the pro-PKK Dicle News Agency (DIHA) also suggested that the Turkish military was involved in setting a forest in the southeastern Lice district of the Diyarbakır province on fire.

Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu reacted to the accusations with a tweet saying "Dirty propaganda has no limits: PKK & its affiliates try to portray forest fire in Kumluca as if it happened in Lice."

HDP only made an apology on the Twitter account after Çavuşoğlutarget="_blank"'>
