American journalist: "Syrian militants remain on the territory of Azerbaijan"

Syrian mercenaries sent by Turkey to Azerbaijan to take part in the hostilities in Nagorno-Karabakh have not yet returned to Syria. Armenian media write about this with reference to the independent American journalist Lindsay Snell, who during the second war actively covered the dispatch of pro-Turkish Syrian mercenaries and militants to the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict zone.

According to the American journalist, Syrian mercenaries not only do not leave the territory of Azerbaijan, but their number is increasing. According to her, in the long term, they intend to stay in Azerbaijan "to protect some points together with Turkish bases."

This, she says, is very beneficial to Turkey, which keeps the militants under constant control.

At the same time, the number of Syrian militants in Azerbaijan has already reached 4, according to the Syrian Center for Human Rights (SOHR). According to the Center, earlier, Turkish intelligence allegedly offered the leaders of the terrorist groups Sultan Murad and Suleiman Shah (* banned in Russia) to move to Azerbaijan.

In turn, Azerbaijan refutes the statements of Lindsay Snell, stating that the American independent journalist actually works for "Western intelligence services" and takes an active anti-Turkish position. She is a frequent critic of the Turkish government and Ankara's actions in general. Earlier, she accused Turkey of sending fighters associated with al-Qaeda to Libya (*).

Baku claims that at the end of September 2020, it was Snell who launched disinformation about preparations for the transfer of thousands of militants to the Turkish-backed Khamza brigade in Syria to Azerbaijan, after which this information was replicated by the Armenian media.

This statement, the Azerbaijani media write, was "denied by the Azerbaijani authorities", there are no Syrian militants on the territory of the republic.

Although not only this American journalist spoke about the militants in Azerbaijan, officials in different countries also made statements of the same nature.

Why should barmaley have a toilet? They have their own concepts of stone and brick hygiene, Brick fight in Karabakh is full

Decided to gloat? What a noble act however.

In the "independent" Western media, Turkey is constantly being portrayed as a rabid dog that has fallen off the leash. Is this really so? Or is the Sultan acting under the strict guidance of the State Department?
Turkey's sphere of influence is expanding due to the spread of instability among its neighbors. But Erdogan always makes contact with Putin. Is he trying to maneuver between Washington and Moscow? Looks like. But not a fact. Still, there is a feeling that Turkey wants to play its game. But will other players allow her to do it?

[Alex777]

I would not rush to deny what everyone is talking about and only the Turks and Azerbaijan "do not confirm".
I also want to draw your attention to Idlib.
The less barmaley there are, the easier it is to clean it up.
The fact that they are "shoved" by the Turks in different countries may be beneficial to us in an unexpected way. We need to see how the chip fits.

[newcomer]

Who would doubt it.
How does Azerbaijan differ for the Turks from Syria, Libya? Yes, nothing. On the contrary, the border with the Russian Federation makes Azerbaijan a priority for organizing and realizing its goals.

[Suleiman]

And in how many recent years have any counter-terrorism measures been carried out on the Azerbaijani-Russian border? Or maybe a base or a transit point for terrorist groups from the territory of Azerbaijan to the territory of Russia was discovered?

[Threaded screw]

In the first Karabakh war, the Armenians said that they defeated the Chechens, Afghans, Turks, Ukrainians

Maybe they said, but only one thing can be said, as if they defeated the Azerbaijanis.

[DAQ]

yes yes Armenians broke wassat Pskov paratroopers became Armenians laughing
that's what Nevzorov said

Your Nevzorov made a film about the Geranboy battalion. And I shot from your side, not from the Armenian side, I advise you to see how he watched everything with his eyes.

[DAQ]

A video with such music, with a selection of frames at the beginning of the video, how the grads work and other propaganda elements (a sheep in a pack of wolves) in no way pretend to be objective.
I don't know anything about the Arab battalion, it is quite possible that it was so.
But this is clearly a pro-Azerbaijani propaganda video.
This is not journalism or documentary.

Arabo are fanatics and the most Armenians. Ours covered them. The whole battalion. The journalist walked over their corpses and could not reach the end in any way. All died.

Well, the fact that you hate them fiercely, I realized that. You need to be a little restrained.
And you also need to be objective, although it's easy for me to talk about objectivity, if I myself can be touched and I will be even more extremely subjective.

And now they have been defeated by the Syrian barmaley:

Nowadays, in order to win a war, you do not need to purchase ultra-modern weapons and train the army in military affairs. It is enough to hire a couple of thousand Syrian barmaley and victory is assured
Ukrainians note

[Incvizitor]

They do not differ from Turkish terrorists in any way.

When will they show these 4 thousand gophers, which no one has seen, but they are!

The information war will only gain momentum, and it will not be long before provocations from both sides.

[Ensign19]

Just an information war.
Most likely, "a response" to: - "Aliyev, at a meeting with Shoigu, provided evidence of the use by the Armenian side of mercenaries, Kurds, volunteers of Armenian origin, citizens of the Russian Federation, the EU and the United States

[DAQ]

The Armenians never hid about foreign volunteers of Armenian origin, they seemed to be proud of it.
Are they mercenaries? If you read what the term mercenary means, you will understand that these are not mercenaries. They didn't go to fight for money.
The Armenians have nothing to be ashamed of about the very fact of the participation of volunteers.
On the contrary, not enough of them came to the war, and on the other hand, untrained militias are not particularly needed in such a war. Specialists are needed there.

[Ensign19]

Are Kurds also of Armenian origin?
A person who receives any material reward (even money for cigarettes or travel) is already a mercenary
Let's not dissemble, but simply admit that on both sides they fought, including various, albeit with different motivations, "mercenaries" (what is shameful here?)

I do not think that for a penny (for cigarettes) the mercenaries will go to war. I'm sure you're right about foreign citizens on both sides. But there is no need to substitute terms. Mercenaries fight for money, not an idea. It's not serious about travel money and cigarettes.
As for the Kurds, I think that it is quite possible that there are those who came to fight for money.
This is how international law defines the term mercenary:
The definition of a mercenary is formulated in Art. 47 (2) of the first Protocol Additional [5] to the Geneva Conventions, signed in 1977. A mercenary is a person who:

specially recruited locally or abroad in order to fight in armed conflict;

[Ensign19]

Yes, I agree with you, I'm exaggerating a little
I never understood the attempts of the official authorities to disown the participation of mercenaries in b / d.
On the contrary, if mercenaries are at war, it means that there will be less losses in the Armed Forces, because mercenaries will be used in the "hottest" directions.
The rest of the conversations (idea, patriotism and other isms) are from the evil one.

[no better place for]

Do Armenians have proven enthusiasts, and Azerbaijanis have Syrians for money? If someone goes to Azerbaijan from Syria, then they are Turkomans, that is, the Turks who remained on the territory of Syria. Yes, yes, there are not only Armenians in Syria, but also Turks. But what is the relation of the Kurds and Yezidis who pose there to the Armenians?

[Suleiman]

That is, when the Armenians of Russia wanted to join the case, they were politely warned. Citizens of the Russian Federation cannot participate in any armed formations abroad, and the law does not allow this. Briefly and clearly, in this case it is classified as participation in maintenance. Let me remind you that the law (and accordingly the article) applies to citizens of the Russian Federation. But in the case of Syria, are they already "in law"? Of course not, they are already mercenaries, if they are citizens of Syria. So there is nothing to be proud of. If 3 million Syrian, 3 million Iraqi, 3 million Russian and 30 million Iranian Azerbaijanis express their will to show their patriotism, how will it be classified?

[APASUS]

Aliyev has an agreement with the Turks, but not with the Syrians. How will he have to taxi in order not to get into a specific dependence?

[noxange]

For decades, Azerbaijan has invested money in the army, trained officers, strengthened its image in the international arena (all these Eurovisions, formulas1, etc., etc.) in order to eventually invite not just mercenaries, but TERRORISTS, Yes, not anyhow, but ISIS themselves! Which I decided to keep even after the end of hostilities, so that ISIS TERRORISTS would guard something. How can you believe this nonsense? :) There is still not a single piece of evidence other than unfounded accusations and a couple of bad production videos from interested parties. It's not even geopolitics, the Armenians and their sympathizers, they are simply preparing the ground for covering up their terrorist actions on the territory of Azerbaijan and other countries against which they harbor resentment. Fortunately, they have an impressive experience of terrorist activities.

Maybe the fact that, unlike Syria and Libya, there are no problems with the central government in Azerbaijan? There is no military action, no armed opposition, etc. etc. How can you generally compare Syria and Libya, the countries that went through revolutions and were destroyed by the civil war, with a country where everything is calm?

[abrakadabre]

you can compare Syria and Libya, countries that have gone through revolution

There have been no revolutions in either the first or second revolution in the last 20 years. There were coups (or their attempts). There were interventions. There were no revolutions.
Do not substitute concepts. These coups are called revolutions only by unscrupulous inspirers and beneficiaries.

[noxange]

See the definition of the word "revolution" for a start. One of the designations is exactly the same "coup", which you also mentioned. The fact that you, subjectively, do not like this word regarding the events in these countries does not mean at all that it cannot be used here.

That war and this one are two huge differences. Then there was no single government, each clan in Baku tried to take power over itself, some tried to incite certain groups in other regions for separatism, from the regular army as such for a very long time there was only a name, there was no money for the war, since, unlike Armenians, no one was preparing for it, etc. etc. What is the point of comparing them? The difference is probably even greater than the Russian Federation in the interval of the first Chechen - polite men in Crimea.

[DAQ]

This was a response to an ironic statement about the participation of Chechens and other peoples friendly to you in the first Karabakh conflict.
To the "question" about the participation of North Caucasian militants, I posted this video with a field commander.

[noxange]

My answer is more related to your postscript, in which you claim that the first time the Chechens fought, it means that the rabble / terrorists from Syria fought in the second. One thing has absolutely nothing to do with the other.

[DAQ]

Something I did not see anything about it in your previous answer. There you broadcast about the preparation.

Literally the first sentence - "That war and this one are two huge differences." :)

Even if Azerbaijan has sheltered people from Idlib, no one will voluntarily confess to such things.

The most powerful part of the war is now taking place at the propaganda level.
Both the Americans and Aliyev are doing this.
Here are two videos of one interview and you can see how each side made its own PR.

Since when did people in Russia begin to believe American journalists, and even independent ones. So anyone can be brought to Baku, declared a journalist and he will talk about aliens on the Armenian side. Whoever wants to believe will believe.

In general, the Azerbaijanis were "defeated" by the Pskov and Rostov paratroopers. And in Khojaly, the 366th Guards Motorized Rifle Regiment was smashing peacemen. Although one must admit the fact that there were also many Armenian ensigns in the regiment.

[noxange]

By the way, I looked at the twitter of this "independent" journalist. She consistently works against Turkey, and strenuously "drowns" for the Greeks and Armenians, and her activities in this direction began even not during the war in Karabakh, but much earlier. This is not even a condemnation, but it is not worth waiting for any objective information from her about what is happening in the conflict zone. And even more so to refer to it if the goal is to present precisely high-quality and objective content.

[Scorpio05]

The entire leak about the alleged presence of Syrian militants from beginning to end, the entire stream of disinformation from the very beginning came from this alleged journalist Lindsay Snell. Competes with S. Pegov.
