"Yesterday, according to the Armenian authorities, a number of Armenian information resources released a video of the testimony of a Syrian" fighter "who was allegedly involved in military operations in the Azerbaijani Army, but was detained by the Armenian military." The statement came from Hikmet Hajiyev, Assistant to the President, Head of the Foreign Policy Department of the Presidential Administration. According to Hajiyev, the Armenian side is trying to prove for a month that mercenaries are fighting on the Azerbaijani side with fake videos and information staged in such a cheap and unprofessional way: "As President Ilham Aliyev has repeatedly stated in various foreign media, the purpose of these claims of Armenia, which has been trying to occupy our territories for many years, is to overshadow the successful military operations of the Azerbaijani Armed Forces to liberate our homeland. aimed at damaging its reputation.
In the presented 1-minute video, many shots were taken several times and then edited. A linguistic examination of the interrogated's voice revealed that he was a Kurd living in Syria. In the 47th second of the video, the person speaks slowly in Kurdish and then in Arabic. This fact suggests that the person may be a member of the PKK. It is a fact that the Armenian armed forces include PKK members brought from Syria and Iraq. This person has difficulty reading a text that has been memorized in advance or presented through a prompter. The second person to take part in the survey and speak Arabic is believed to be a non-Arab, Syrian-Armenian. This person is dressed in a military uniform of the State Border Service of the Republic of Azerbaijan. Two people dressed in military uniforms of the State Border Service of the Republic of Azerbaijan did not escape attention, as Armenian Defense Minister Tonoyan recently posed with Armenian servicemen in the combat zone.
Later, the Armenian Defense Ministry deleted the photo. There is indisputable evidence and operational information in the Azerbaijani authorities about the presence of foreigners and mercenaries involved in hostilities, as well as activists of terrorist organizations brought from Syria as part of the Armenian military units. It would be more useful for the Armenian Defense Ministry and other official bodies to fully inform the Armenian public about their defeats than to engage in the production of such fake scenes.
