Well-placed Kurdish sources however told BBC he remains in a coma.

He has struggled with his health in recent years and has often been treated abroad.
"Bodily functions are normal and the health condition of his excellency the president is stable," a statement on the presidency's website said.
The presidency said in an earlier statement that Talabani's efforts to forge a consensus in Iraq and the "consequent fatigue and tiredness" had led to a "health emergency" that led to him being admitted to hospital on Monday evening.
Soldiers assigned to the presidential guard were deployed around Medical City, Baghdad's largest medical complex where Talabani is being treated.
He took over the mainly ceremonial presidency in the years after the 2003 invasion, and has often used the position to mediate between sectarian and ethnic groups.
