After Libyan army spokesman Ahmed Al-Mesmari confirmed two days ago that Turkey had transferred Syrian and non-Syrian terrorists from Libya to Azerbaijan, revealing that tens of thousands of Syrian and non-Syrian mercenaries had been transported to Libya to through Mitiga and Misrata airports, a security source confirmed that a meeting was held late Friday night in the Libyan capital Tripoli between Turkish intelligence and Defense Ministry officials and various leaders of militias affiliated with the Government of National Accord with the same purpose.
The source explained that the Turkish officials asked in their meeting with the heads of the militias to nominate Libyan fighters specialized in cornet and sniper weapons, provided that their number, as a first stage, does not exceed 50 combatants to transfer them to Azerbaijan in exchange for 5,000 monthly dollars awarded to the Libyan fighter paid for by the Azerbaijani government and delivered through Turkish elements.
While Ankara is completely silent on this information and continues its actions despite international criticism, many sources confirmed the news of the transfer of mercenaries through Turkish security companies to Karabakh to support Azerbaijan.
28 bodies until today
Hours ago, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights announced that at least 28 Syrian militants loyal to it, who had been fighting with Azerbaijani forces in Nagorno Karabakh, had been killed since the start of clashes with Armenian forces.
Mercenaries loyal to Turkey
According to the information, the dead belonged to pro-Ankara factions scattered in their areas of influence, especially in the northern province of Aleppo, and most of them came from the Turkmen component, and are among the more than 850 Syrian fighters transferred by Turkey to the disputed area since last week.
In turn, Agence France-Presse was able to verify that the families of at least 3 of them were informed of their deaths, including the leader of a group that left the village of Atarib in Aleppo’s western countryside last month.
On Friday, social media users in northern Syria shared images of four fighters, who said they had been killed in the fighting.
Armenia: we have the evidence of Turkish intervention
Armenian Prime Minister Nicole Pashinyan also revealed in an interview with French newspaper “Le Figaro” on Friday that her country has “evidence” that Turkey is militarily supporting Azerbaijani forces participating in the battles in Nagorno-Karabakh.

Pashinyan accused Turkey of supporting the Azerbaijani army with fighter jets, drones and other military equipment, and of sending military advisers and “mercenaries and terrorists” to the region seeking secession from Azerbaijan.
He also confirmed that he had evidence of his data, adding: “There is evidence that the Turkish military leaders were directly involved in leading the attack.”
Russia: we know it and France: beware of internationalization
In turn, the Russian Information Agency, citing the Russian Foreign Ministry, said on Thursday that Moscow is aware of the presence of Syrian mercenaries in the Nagorno Karabakh region, after two sources from the Syrian opposition told Reuters that Turkey was sending loyal fighters to support Azerbaijan in the fight.
Syrian mercenaries in Libya
The Russian Security Council considered the deployment of mercenaries from Syria and Libya in the conflict zone between Armenia and Azerbaijan in the Nagorno-Karabakh region as a “very dangerous event”, according to the news agency “TASS” in that moment.
In addition, on Sunday fighting resumed in the Nagorno-Karabakh region, inhabited by a majority of Armenians.
Early Friday, French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian warned Azerbaijan, which has the backing of Turkey, and Armenia against the “internationalization of the conflict” and the risk of an “escalation out of control.”
