ArmInfo.More than a thousand militants from Syria have been transferred to the zone of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. This was reported by RIA Novosti with reference to an informed source.
"Last Friday, more than 1,000 militants were sent to fight in Nagorno-Karabakh, and another party is being prepared to send in the coming days," the source said.
Earlier, on October 14, The Wall Street Journal wrote about hundreds of Syrian militants associated with Turkey deployed to Karabakh and about the readiness to send "hundreds more" of militias to the Karabakh conflict zone. The Washington Post wrote on the same day about the deaths of 52 Syrian mercenaries in the Karabakh conflict zone.
Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad said that fighters from Syria are being deployed to Karabakh, and Turkey is using terrorists from Syria and other countries in Nagorno-Karabakh.
In turn, the director of the Foreign Intelligence Service of the Russian Federation, Sergei Naryshkin, also reported that, according to the information available to the SVR, mercenaries from international terrorist organizations fighting in the Middle East are actively pulling into the conflict zone, and we are talking about hundreds and even thousands of radicals.
On the transfer of 300 Syrian militants through Turkey to Baku also told French President Emmanuel Macron in early October. The leaders of Azerbaijan and Turkey, despite having already provided numerous factual evidence of their involvement in hostilities, continue to claim that they do not use the services of mercenaries.
