The report said that hundreds of mercenaries from Syria and Libya have recently been deployed in the disputed areas in Nagorno Karabakh, in a Turkish attempt to help Azerbaijan confront Armenia.
And the report considered, “Ankara apparently decided not to hide its illegal actions, while many foreign leaders have already expressed their concern about Turkey’s aggressive policies.”
The report stated that “On October 2, French President Emmanuel Macron announced that his country has information about the transfer of jihadists to Azerbaijan,” saying that “this is a very dangerous new fact that is working to change the situation.”
1500 dollars
Journalists from the US network, CNN, were able to obtain details of the recruitment of fighters from the so-called “Syrian National Army” by the Turkish armed forces.
According to the network, Turkey promised the Syrian mercenaries about 1,500 dollars a month to travel to Azerbaijan, and Syrian sources confirm this information, according to the report.
Some of these mercenaries, on their part, revealed how the Turks recruited and sent fighters to the Caucasus, as recruits were brought there first to provide protection for gas and oil pipelines, and according to one of the fighters of the Syrian group, after their arrival in Azerbaijan, they quickly fight battles, as happened in Libya.
The network quoted a Syrian fighter as saying: “We know that it is a matter of war and I do not have a security company,” adding that about 1,000 fighters have already been sent to Azerbaijan.
Sultan Murad Group
For her part, Elizabeth Tsurkov, a member of the US-based Foreign Policy Research Institute, wrote that the main reason that makes the Syrian mercenaries fight for the geopolitical interests of Turkey in different parts of the world is the extreme poverty and miserable situation.
The report stated that “the experience of the Syrian fighters was in the Sultan Murad group, as they were first recruited to join the fight on the side of the Government of National Accord in Libya, but then they were sent to Azerbaijan.”
He added that Turkey considers these militants “fuel for its war, so many of them did not receive the promised wages.”
According to the report, more than 12 Syrian mercenary fighters have been killed during the clashes in Nagorno Karabakh since the first of October, and the BBC producer said that 8 mercenaries were killed in an attack on the Armenian defenses, while multiple attempts to rescue the wounded failed. They fell under artillery and mortar fire.
The report pointed out that “the armed conflict in Nagorno Karabakh is another example of the proxy war that Ankara is waging relentlessly in North Africa, the eastern Mediterranean, and the greater Middle East.”
And he stated, “There is no doubt that Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, in his pursuit of his goals, does not care about Syrian and Libyan mercenaries who are fighting in order to obtain a financial reward, as achieving the geopolitical interests of Turkey is what concerns the Turkish president, according to the report.
