BBC Arabic spoke with a Syrian fighter in #Turkey's SNA who has been sent to #Azerbaijan. The deployment in-country apparently began on Sept. 23. Initially pleased with the relatively high wages, many SNAers are now distressed as the death toll mounts. https://t.co/f7TCUw76gX

“There hasn’t been one Azerbaijani or one Turk with us when we are fighting. So many of us want to return to Syria, but they pulled their weapons on us and forced us to stay and keep fighting.”

So weird Azerbaijan is going badly for SNA mercenaries after Libya went so well. https://t.co/58AQ5Rr2Yw

#Syria: evidence of involvement of Turkisk-backed #SNA fighters in Azerbaijan growing every day. This fighter, Qassem Al-Jazmur from #DeirEzzor, died in Armenian bombardment. Multiple casualties of Rebel fighters already documented on this new front. pic.twitter.com/WHQfK7w7MA
