YEREVAN, NOVEMBER 6, ARMENPRESS. The Director of the Foreign Intelligence Service of Russia Sergey Naryshkin has announced that they have received accurate intelligence data, including from intelligence agencies of Middle Eastern countries, on the participation of Syrian militants in the Nagorno Karabakh fighting.

Naryshkin said that the Russian intelligence agency has “accurate information on the presence of terrorists, including from Middle East and first of all from Syria in the combat zone”.

“We are receiving this data from several countries, various sources, and from our various colleagues, partner services in the Middle East.”

Two Syrian mercenaries fighting for the Azeri side against Artsakh were taken captive by the Armenian forces. Both have testified how they were recruited in Syria and taken through Turkey to Azerbaijan for 2000 dollars a month.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
