"No one from Turkey is taking part in these battles. As for the involvement of foreigners in these wars, it is a lie. This is a slander against us. We are not provided with any evidence in this regard. Such statements were simply made by France and Russia. That's all. "
This was stated by President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev in an interview with Turkish Haber Turk television.
According to the President, it is not interesting who writes about this issue in the media:
"It simply came to our notice then. But such statements by officials are unacceptable. Either prove it or withdraw your words. There is no such thing, there is no need for it. "Azerbaijan has a strong enough army and solves these issues on its own."
"As for the participation of foreign citizens, let them look at Armenia. How many foreign terrorists are there? There are PKK camps there, including in Nagorno-Karabakh.
Now that we have cleared the region of invaders, we will demolish those camps as well. Among the terrorists killed there were Canadian and Lebanese passports. Whether they are of Armenian origin or not is another matter.
That is, a citizen of another country comes and fights there. These are mercenaries, "he said.
