Zakharova: The militants who were transferred to the zone of the  Karabakh conflict did not disappear anywhere, did not evaporate

ArmInfo. The militants, unfortunately, who were transferred to the zone of the  Nagorno-Karabakh conflict from the Middle East, did not disappear  anywhere, did not evaporate. This was announced on November 13 during  a weekly briefing by the official representative of the Russian  Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova.

She recalled that information about the militants was voiced on the  basis of specific facts and was confirmed not only by the Russian  side. "We proceed from the assumption that this issue will be  resolved.  All parties interested in peace in this region should make  efforts to resolve it. I can say that from our side, military experts  are dealing with this issue. But I think that this issue requires  everything the same, the specific work of specialists, and then a  report on what has been done, and not vice versa, "Zakharova summed  up.

Earlier, The Wall Street Journal wrote about hundreds of Syrian  militants associated with Turkey deployed to Karabakh and about their  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.

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 numerous factual evidence  of their involvement in the hostilities, denied their involvement.
