Moscow stresses it is against Ankara’s sending of mercenaries from Syria and Libya to Nagorno-Karabakh

International

MOSCOW, (ST)- The Russian Foreign Ministry has stressed that in its usual contacts with the Turkish regime, it always raises the issue of their sending a large number of terrorist mercenaries from Syria and Libya to the Nagorno-Karabakh province.

Last Thursday, the Wall Street Journal and the Washington Post newspapers confirmed the involvement of Recep Tayyib Erdogan’s regime in sending a large number of mercenaries to fight in the Nogorno-Karabakh province.

In a statement to reporters on Monday, the Russian President’s Special Envoy for the Middle East and Africa, Deputy Foreign Minister Michael Bogdanov said that the Russian side always affirms its rejection of the participation of mercenaries in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.

 In the same context, a source told the Russian Novosti news agency that more than 1000 terrorists were sent from Syria to Karabakh last Friday, pointing out that a new batch of terrorists is expected to be sent to the province soon.

On his part, Director of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service Sergey Naryshkin warned that available reports confirm the transfer of mercenaries, affiliated to international terrorist organizations fighting in the Middle East, to the Karabakh province. He noted that those terrorists number thousands.

In a recent statement to media outlets, the Armenian President Armen Sarkissian has stressed that the Turkish regime is the main obstacle that has impeded a peaceful settlement in Nagorno-Karabakh. He added that “if Turkey is not removed from the general context, it will be very difficult to reach a peaceful settlement in Karabakh through negotiations or to return to the negotiation table within the Minsk Group of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe.”
