Naryshkin told where Russia got data on militants from Syria in  Nagorno-Karabakh

Note that a few days earlier, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov  said in an interview with Kommersant that the number of mercenaries  from the Middle East in the Karabakh conflict zone is approaching two  thousand. Lavrov stressed that Russia is concerned about the  internationalization of the conflict and the attraction of militants  from the Middle East.

French President Emmanuel Macron, Russian President Vladimir Putin,  as well as leaders of a number of other states spoke publicly about  mercenaries in the Karabakh conflict zone. A number of international  authoritative publications also wrote about this, publishing reliable  facts and schemes for their transfer by Turkey to Azerbaijan.
