"I have repeatedly responded to these accusations, these baseless accusations. To be honest, I regret that high-ranking officials of countries that are supposed to be neutral and act in accordance with the mandate given to them by the OSCE use this baseless "information" and rumors that have not been confirmed. This is the first.
Second, we have no employees. I have said this many times. We don't need them. " This was stated by President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev in an interview with the Spanish news agency EFE. The President noted that we have an army of 100,000 fighters, and if we declare full mobilization, we can collect several times more:
"But unlike Armenia, we do not do that. There is no evidence on our side that any foreign fighter is fighting. For more than a month, we have not received any evidence, any documents, no proof. Statements only. So, why don't they see what is happening on the Armenian side, how many mercenaries are fighting on the Armenian side? We already have a list of neutralized people with foreign passports. He is from the United States, France, Canada, Lebanon, Iraq, post-Soviet countries, and dozens of Georgia. Yes, they are Armenians living in those countries, but it does not matter. If they are citizens of other countries, their presence is considered illegal. So far nothing has been said about this issue, but we have evidence. We have passports. We have proof, we have video. Nothing has been said about it, "Aliyev said.
