Mercenaries issue ends in Azerbaijan, while uncertainty surrounds the fate of 240 fighters
2020-12-16
[SYRIAHR] SOHR sources say that the mercenaries issue in Azerbaijan has ended, as the latest batches of fighters have returned to Syria after some 825 fighters of Ankara-backed factions remained there. However,
it was a brave man who first ate an oyster...
 the fate of nearly 240 fighters transferred to Azerbaijan remains unknown, as it is not known whether they were killed, captured, relocated or remained there.
It is worth nothing that the number of mercenaries transferred to Azerbaijan by the Ottoman Turkish government, has reached 2,580 fighters, of whom 514 were killed and others were captured. Meanwhile,
...back at the dirigible, the gondola was dangling by a single thread of rope.

Jack! Cynthia cried. I just realized I'm afraid of heights! I don't even like high heels!...
 the fate of 240 fighters remains unknown to date, while the rest returned to Syria as their mission ended and the Azerbaijani government refused to maintain them in Azerbaijan.

On December 3, the Syrian Observatory obtained new details on the case of Ottoman Turkish-backed Syrian mercenaries in Azerbaijan from several fighters who recently returned from Nagorno-Karabakh to Syria. According to SOHR sources, the fighters who had returned to Syria received varying payments, as some were given 3,500 USD and 600 TL, another group was given 1,000 USD and 1,000 TL each, while some others were given two payments of an estimated 5,000 TL. Furthermore, all the fighters confirmed that there were "unpaid sums of money" that were supposed to be given to these fighters in the next few days.

On the other hand, SOHR sources say that the number of Syrian mercenaries killed in Azerbaijan exceeded the number of those killed in Libya, as the corpse count of the Ottoman Turkish-backed Syrian mercenaries in Azerbaijan has reached 541. In Libya, however, the corpse count is 468 fighters.

Observatory sources have also confirmed that further bodies of Syrian fighters killed in Nagorno-Karabakh battles have arrived in Syria with the recent batches of returnees, bringing the number of fighters whose bodies were brought to Syria to 340.
