“Multiple facts exist in regard to participation of mercenaries from the Armenian side in the war against Azerbaijan”, said Minister of Foreign Affairs Jeyhun Bayramov at the briefing held today, APA reports.
J. Bayramov said members of the Armenian Diaspora are active in this regard in a number of countries: “heads of Diaspora organizations announce existence of military training stations for persons of Armenian origin in some cases and persons of non-Armenian origin in other cases. This issue has already reached such an open level that Armenia’s President confessed this in his interview with Al-Jazeera TV channel, said the people coming from abroad apply to army and fight. We also have information and facts regarding involvement in combat operations of members of PKK terrorist organization”.
The minister of Foreign Affairs noted that Armenia has always involved in battles the terrorists from various countries: “Armenia used terrorists in the First Garabagh war as well. One of them was Monte Melkonyan who came from Lebanon and fought on the side of Armenia and was killed by the Azerbaijani Army. Currently, he is Armenia’s National Hero. Before arriving in Armenia, he committed a terrorist act in France. This proves once again that Armenia has always resorted to such illegal steps. This is the thinking mode of Armenia’s military and political leadership”.
