Hundreds of Azeri mercenaries are fighting among their ranks
BAKU--Websites managed by Islamist rebel forces in Syria, responsible
for attacks against the country's Christian minorities, reported
Wednesday that three more Azeri mercenaries fighting in its ranks
have been killed.
The Azeri press, quoting the rebel sources reported that the three
Azeris fought alongside rebels of the Al-Nusra front and were allegedly
killed by pro-government forces.
Interestingly, Azeri news sources are not shying away from reporting
that hundreds of their native mercenaries are currently fighting
with Islamist rebels--the very factions reigning terror of Syria's
Christian communities, among them the Armenians.
Recently, Azeri media reported about a number of deaths of Azerbaijani
mercenaries in Syria. In early April, the Turkish sites have reported
that about 30 terrorists from Azerbaijan have already been killed in
Syria. According to the Azerbaijani political scientist Arif Yunus,
more than 300 Islamists from Azerbaijan are fighting in Syria,
Afghanistan and Pakistan. Azerbaijani mercenaries have even released
an online video-recording calling for "jihad."
The relationship between international terrorist groups and Azerbaijan
originated in the early 1990s. During that time, the Azerbaijani army,
having failed in the aggression against the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic,
retreated with losses. Trying to save the situation, the Azerbaijani
leadership, headed by Heydar Aliyev, called on international
terrorist organizations and radical groups from Afghanistan (Taliban,
Hezb-e Islami, and others), Turkey (Grey Wolves), Chechnya (Chechen
Mujahedeen) and other regions to join the fight against the Armenians
of Karabakh.
Despite the involvement of thousands of foreign mercenaries and
terrorists in the Azerbaijani army during the war, the Azerbaijani
aggression against Nagorno-Karabakh Republic failed, and the Baku
authorities were forced to sign an armistice with Karabakh and
Armenia. However, international terrorists forged ties in Azerbaijan
during the war, and used them in the future. Recruitment was conducted
among Azerbaijanis, who then were sent to Afghanistan and the North
Caucasus, where they participated in battles against NATO forces and
the Russian government.
In recent years, citizens from Azerbaijan have been actively involved
in terrorist and extremist activities in Russia, Afghanistan and
Syria. In Azerbaijan, the citizens are brought to criminal liability
for participating in "illegal armed groups" in Afghanistan, sentenced
to minor terms of imprisonment.
