There are reports in Scottish press that PKK guerillas might kidnapped Donald Mackenzie but there is no such statement from the PKK.
In the past PKK guerillas held some tourists but made statements almost immidiately and released all shortly.
Mount Ararat, near Turkey's eastern borders with Iran and Armenia, is believed by some to be the final resting place of Noah's Ark. Mr Mackenzie has dedicated much of his life to uncovering the secrets of the legendary ark.
