Why not, last time I checked Russia didn't recognize PKK as a terrorist organization.I don't think anyone is stupid enough to supply Kurds with MANPADs especially not Russia since those weapons can fall into anyone's hands and be used against Russia.
Russia itself is trying to determine the origin of the MANPAD that downed the SU-25 and how terrorists obtained it. The T-129 could have just been hit with small arms fire and lost power, it doesn't have much protection. Russian engineers built the MI-24, MI-28 and SU-25 with thick armor just for this reason.
In many wars those aircraft returned safely after being hit with MANPADs or heavy machine gun fire.
You like your commie friends don't you?
