INCREASE IN NUMBER OF AZERBAIJANI MILITIAS IN SYRIA IS WORRISOME – ARMENIAN EXPERT

YEREVAN. – The Azerbaijani society is facing serious problems and
experiencing a deep crisis, Arab Studies specialist Sargis Grigoryan
said during a press conference on Thursday, reflecting on the death
of thirty Azerbaijani militias in Syria.
“Primarily the youth of the Azerbaijani society respond to the calls
for an Islamic war at the battlefronts. The death of the thirty
Azerbaijanis also speaks to the fact that the number of Azerbaijanis
that have gotten involved in the Syrian crisis reaches hundreds,”
Grigoryan stressed.
In his words, unlike the Western countries, which state about
fighting against the Islamists that return from Syria, the Azerbaijani
authorities do not stand out with such steps.
“I believe this comes to prove that this refers to conducting
a designed policy. The Azerbaijani guerrillas acquire know-how, by
taking part in military operations at Islamic fronts, [and] upon
returning to the homeland, their know-how could be used in other
directions,” the Arab Studies specialist noted, and added that the
Azerbaijanis are fighting wars also in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq,
Mali, and in several other countries.
Sargis Grigoryan expressed a conviction that all this is worrisome
because Azerbaijan is Armenia’s neighbor.
