The Nagorno-Karabakh Republic (NKR) authorities have evidence of mercenaries and terrorists taking part in the current military actions in the Karabakh conflict zone.

The NKR Presidential Spokesperson, Davit Babayan, told about the abovementioned to Armenian News-NEWS.am.

“There are grounds to declare that mercenaries from the Islamic State and other terrorist organizations also have participated in the aggressive actions, which Azerbaijan has unleashed against Nagorno-Karabakh,” Babayan noted. “This is evidenced in numerous circumstances. They were talking with each other in Turkish and Arabic, they had other uniforms, [and] they were acting like militants. Their age was different, too; they all were over 30.”

In this connection, he recalled that a large number of Azerbaijani citizens have joined terrorist organizations, especially the Islamic State, and, moreover, most of them are military servicemen.

“By paving connections there, these so called military servicemen-militants have organized a terrorists’ flow from Turkey to Nakhichevan, and from there to Azerbaijan, to the conflict zone,” the NKR presidential spokesperson added.
