Deputy Foreign Minister: Russian side expresses its position  to  Turkey that the involvement of Syrian militants in the Karabakh  conflict is unacceptable

ArmInfo.Moscow discusses the participation of Syrian militants in the conflict in  Nagorno-Karabakh with Ankara. Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail  Bogdanov told reporters about this.

According to him, Moscow raised this issue during discussion with the  Turkish side. "We are discussing all issues," Bogdanov said.

The diplomat also said that the Russian side expresses its position   to Turkey that the involvement of Syrian militants in the Karabakh  conflict is unacceptable, RIA Novosti reports.

Earlier, RIA Novosti, citing a source, reported that Turkey again  sent Syrian militants to fight in Nagorno- Karabakh. "More than a  thousand people were sent to the region on October 16. In addition,  another batch is being prepared for dispatch," 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 militants 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 Service, 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.

French President Emmanuel Macron also spoke about the transfer of 300  Syrian militants across Turkey to Baku in early October.

The leaders of Azerbaijan and Turkey, despite providing overwhelming  factual evidence of their involvement in the hostilities, continue to  claim that they do not use the services of mercenaries.
