YEREVAN. – A large number of mercenaries from Azerbaijan are engaged in the Syrian battles, and they very often fight against one another.

Arab Studies specialist Araks Pashayan noted the abovementioned at a press conference on Monday.

In Pashayan’s words, many people in Azerbaijan say that perhaps this resource should be directed at other regions, specifically Nagorno-Karabakh.

“After all this, it is impossible to predict which force fights for what in Syria” the analyst added.

The Arab Studies specialist also reflected on the UN-backed Geneva II Conference on Syria, and she stressed that there are no substantial changes following this international peace conference on the future of Syria.   

“I think that the talks between the Syrian government and the opposition should continue behind closed doors,” Araks Pashayan stated.
