Diplomat: Turkey sent 4000 mercenaries from Libya and Syria to Azerbaijan

The news of the bridge to transport mercenary fighters from Libya and Syria to Azerbaijan returns to make headlines again, as the Italian “AKI” news agency quoted the former Armenian ambassador to Italy, Sergis Ghazarian, as confirming that about 4000 mercenary fighters loyal to Turkey from the Al-Nusra Front and the Sultan Murad Brigade arrived in Nagorno Karabakh coming from Libya and Syria, saying they are fighting at the front on the side of the Azerbaijani forces.

The former ambassador was present with 100 people at the sit-in organized by the Armenian community in front of the Italian House of Representatives to demand the cessation of what he considered “the Turkish-Azerbaijani aggression,” saying that the presence of these anti-Armenian mercenaries is dangerous, especially if he takes into account the moratorium on war activities that called to the Secretary-General of the United Nations due to the Coronavirus  epidemic.

Iran highlighted “the danger that Turkey, a member of NATO, is helping the spread of terrorist networks in a region where it has never existed, while Azerbaijan enjoys the credibility of Europe’s energy partner and witnesses the presence of mercenary fighters near the gas pipelines.

He also concluded by asking “where is the credibility of the policies of some European countries?”

Meanwhile, the American “Wall Street Journal” confirmed that hundreds of Syrian fighters linked to Turkey were deployed in Karabakh and participated in the battles.

A Syrian source told the newspaper that sending fighters to Libya or Azerbaijan has become “a natural phenomenon. People no longer care about what or against those who fight, but only ask about money…they will go to where the money is.”
