On September 10, the young “Muhammad A.”, who resides in a camp in the Idlib camp on the Syrian-Turkish border, moved to Afrin in the Aleppo camp and arrived at a camp belonging to the faction ” Sultan Murad “with two of his companions.
This was the first stop for those Syrians, who decided to go to Azerbaijan to “guard the Turkish bases”, after a broker (a local broker) offered them as described, with whom they had contacted via the “WhatsApp” application, days before getting ready to leave.
Muhammad, who requested that his full name not be used for fear of being subjected to “security problems”, told Al-Hurra’s website that he spent two days with his companions in the camp, which included dozens of fighters. heavily armed, to be transported in the cars of said faction (Sultan Murad) to another area called “Hawar Kilis”, a city near the border with Turkey in the northern Aleppo countryside.
This area is considered a meeting point for Syrian fighters, before they were transferred to the interior of Turkey, and then to Azerbaijan, through military aircraft (Yushun).
Muhammad says the main factor that led him to consider going to Azerbaijan is “poverty” and the lack of job opportunities in northern Syria, which is under the control of the Syrian opposition factions, according to him.
The young man explained to the Al-Hurra website that he received an economic offer to go to that front, worth a thousand dollars, as long as he worked to protect the Turkish bases in the region, far from fighting directly on the fronts, which was different from the truth, on the ground. .
With the intensification of the battles between Azerbaijan and Armenia in the vicinity of the Nagorno Karabakh region, several reports spoke of the arrival of Syrian fighters in the region, to participate in the war for the benefit of the Azerbaijani army. The Syrian for Human Rights “, in several reports, despite denials from Ankara.
But the arrival of the fighters was only possible with the support of Ankara, whose lands are the crossing bridge from the Aleppo countryside to the Caucasus region, and it is considered the spearhead in that, and the leaks and confirmations that are published are from the newly arrived combatants, with whom he spoke. Al-Hurra, and his relatives, confirm these reports.
So you starved our hearts …… There is no strength or power except with God Almighty, Almighty, and we belong to God and to Him we return my condolences, that you are with a generous and merciful Lord who knows …

Transit from Turkey
After the arrival of the young man, “Muhammad” at the meeting area in the town of “Hawar Kilis”, he was transported with more than 150 combatants in passenger buses to the Turkish city of Antakya, and from its airport they were transported by airplanes ” Yushen “to Istanbul, then to the Turkish capital, Ankara, which was the last stop on His flight, before being transported by military aircraft to the Azerbaijani capital, Baku.
“We arrived in the capital, Baku, and then we were transported by buses to the outskirts of Nagorno Karabakh,” Muhammad said, adding that “the details of the offer at this stage changed the idea of guarding the Turkish points to participate in the fight. on the fronts against the Armenian army. “
He added: “After reaching the borders of the region, we stayed in a camp for a day, and on the second day they dragged us to the fronts to fight,” noting that he was able, with various military groups, to control areas of about four kilometers. squares daily.
Speaking to Al-Hurra, the young man put the number of Syrian fighters in Azerbaijan at about 1,500.
According to him, the agents came from various factions affiliated with the National Army, including the Hamza Division, Sultan Murad and the Suleiman Shah Brigade, nicknamed “Al-Amshat” in honor of its commander, Muhammad al-Jasim Abu Amsha.
The aforementioned factions receive military and logistical support from Turkey, and are active in northern Syria, especially in the “Euphrates Shield” and the “Olive Branch”, as well as the “Fountain of Peace” in eastern Syria. Syria.
According to what local activists from the Aleppo camp said in statements to the Al-Hurra site, the departure of Syrian fighters to Azerbaijan is mainly coordinated by the aforementioned factions, who have recently deployed local mediators affiliated with them (intermediaries), to promote the idea of fighting in the Nagorno Karabakh region. In exchange for exorbitant sums of money.
And the Armenian ambassador in Moscow had said earlier last month that Turkey had sent some 4,000 fighters from northern Syria to Azerbaijan while fighting there, which was denied by an aide to Ilham Aliyev, the president of Azerbaijan.
Armenia also said that Turkish military experts are fighting alongside Azerbaijan in “Nagorno Karabakh”, also noting that Ankara provided drones and fighter jets.
On the other hand, Azerbaijan denied the validity of these reports. Hikmat Hajiyev, Azerbaijan’s assistant to the president for foreign policy, said saying that Syrian fighters are coming to help his country is “complete nonsense”, adding: “Our armed forces have enough personnel and reserve forces.”
Turkey also denied this news, as a Turkish Defense Ministry spokesman said Ankara’s support is represented in the military advice and training of the Azerbaijani armed forces, adding that “the Turkish Defense Ministry does not recruit militants or the transferred to nowhere in the world. “
Dozens of dead
When they were thrown into the Karabakh battles that did not subside until now, on the side of the Azerbaijani army, the Syrian fighters became the fuel of the conflict, as the mourners on social media, in recent weeks, followed dozens of Syrians dead.
Among the dead, which the Al-Hurra website was able to document, were: “Major” Kinan Farzat Abu Muhammad, Yasser Farzat Abu Omar, Bilal al-Taybani and Walid al-Ashtar Abu Basil ”. They fell last September, days after their arrival in the vicinity of the Nagorno Karabakh region, and came from the city of Rastan in the Homs countryside, and had reached the Aleppo countryside, according to the conciliation agreement signed in 2018.
A relative of Kinan Farzat told the Al-Hurra website that the latter went out to fight in Azerbaijan “under the coordination of the Sultan Murad faction, which worked within its ranks.”
The dead man’s relative, who declined to be identified, added that “the leaders of the factions are working to get the young people to fight on the side of the Azerbaijani army, through various methods, among which brokerage stands out,” explaining that “the beginning is sending the CV of the Syrian fighter to the Turkish side, and then the transfer process will take place.” Turkey and then to the fronts. “
The fighter, Kinan Farzat, left after his death five children who no longer have breadwinners, according to his relative, in addition to the families of his two brothers who had been killed in recent years in the fighting in northern Syria , in the Aleppo and Idlib countryside.
While the combatant Yasser Farzat Abu Omar left behind his two wives and also his five children, without any breadwinner, in the absence of clarification on the economic compensation that supposedly would correspond to the families of the dead, who went out to fight in Azerbaijan.
According to the source the “Al-Hurra” website spoke to, the corpses of the documented dead were returned to the Aleppo camp in the same way that the fighters left when they were alive. As if nothing had happened “.
Why throw mercenaries into the fight?
On the other hand, other media spoke of the arrival of Syrian fighters also to the opposite fronts, to support the Armenian army, which was pointed out by Baku in several statements by its officers in the first days of the outbreak of clashes in the vicinity from the “Karabakh” region.
However, the doctrine of Syrian fighters supporting the Armenian army differs radically from their counterparts on the other side, as the two sides are split between the opposition factions supported by Ankara on the one hand, and the Assad regime, supported for Russia, on the other.
The director of the Center for Justice and Accountability Muhammad al-Abdullah, speaking to Al-Hurra, specified the objectives that Ankara and Moscow want to send Syrian mercenaries to the Karabakh fronts.
Al-Abdullah says: “The first objective of sending them is to involve them in combat operations, for the sake of military and political interests.”
The Syrian jurist adds that the countries are sending mercenaries to “deny their official participation in the fighting, and here the difference between the official forces and the unidentified unidentified forces is possible.”
Other objectives set by al-Abdullah also behind the dispatch of mercenaries from Ankara and Moscow to the Karabakh fronts, and are related to the attempts to overrule the international laws that regulate the battles, known as international humanitarian law, as well as to overrule the consequences political and legal.
On the other hand, perhaps the most prominent, Al-Abdullah indicates that the use of mercenaries in wars would achieve psychological objectives in support of the party they support on the ground.
He explained that “mercenaries are more likely to commit violations of looting, looting and field killing, and they play a fundamental role in sowing terror and terrorizing the soul of civilians, which distinguishes them from official armies, whose movements are counted one after another”.
