Syrian President accuses Erdogan of instigating the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict

 

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad accused the Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan of instigating the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict in the Caucasus. Interviewed by the Russia's RIA news agency, Bashar al-Assad said that Erdogan and his Defense Minister Hulusi Akar are deploying Syrian militants in Azerbaijan, confirming the accusations recently moved to Ankara by French president Emmanuel Macron.

"We are always with our brother Azerbaijan since he is always on the side of Turkey ... we will continue to be with Baku on the battlefield and at the negotiating table," Turkish foreign minister Mevlut Cavusoglu assured yesterday. Faced with these sentences it is difficult to imagine how Ankara can make a diplomatic contribution to the solution of the conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan. On the contrary, on the battlefield, his "contribution" is evident.

And not just for the huge arms supplies to the Azeris. According to the Middle East Eye (MEE), hundreds of Syrian mercenaries under the orders of Turkey have left to go to Azerbaijan or are about to leave. They have the task of protecting Turkish interests in the open war between Armenia and Azerbaijan for Nagorno-Karabakh.

Citing a source in Turkey with direct knowledge of the matter who asked for anonymity, MEE reports that since last month Turkish private contractors have been hiring Syrians to send to Baku. They collected civilians and former combatants to train them as security guards with a monthly salary of $ 600. The first group has completed training and has already been sent to Azerbaijan.

Others refer of salaries between 1000 and 2000 dollars and of concrete employment in the fighting and not just as private guards. In essence, Ankara is following the same path taken in Libya where it has sent thousands of Syrian jihadists and Islamists, coming from the western region of Idlib, under Turkish military control, to fight together with the militias aligned with Prime Minister Al Sarraj, ally of the Turkish leader Erdogan, against Khalifa Haftar's Libyan National Army.

Those headed for Azerbaijan would also come from Idlib. They pass through the Kilis border crossing and once they enter Turkish territory, they sign contracts with private security companies. They are men of the so-called Syrian National Army, the militia financed and trained by Ankara, belonging to various divisions and brigades. Those of Sultan Muhammad al-Fatih and Mutasim would already be in Azerbaijan. Through contractors, the Turkish government can circumvent the parliamentary approval required for the use of regular troops in war. Baku for its part denies everything and calls this news "another Armenian provocation and total nonsense."

“Iraq is Utilizing What They Have Right Now”

Here’s something good that I want to share with what I read today. It’s about  how Iraq utilizes a decentralized arrangement of administration, the Gulf countries and their organizations can investigate such financial possibilities with different individual Iraqi governorates, directed by the national government. This can likewise make a sound rivalry among Iraqi governorates to offer better costs and more good arrangements with Gulf organizations, as the two sides advantage. For me, Iraq needs huge monetary and monetary support. Monetary guide bundles can just reduce some tension on the present moment. Aside from Iran, there is insignificant territorial interest in Iraq's private area. Tehran's interest in Iraq has not given remarkable monetary advantages, for the most part because of authorizations. Inlet countries ought to investigate Iraq as a feasible competitor for their business ventures, and they can even use Jordan as a middle person to shape a solid financial ternio...
