>>41193I've seen the videos, problem is that several of them are easily-identifiable fakes. Like I said, a video of Syrians in trucks driving was clearly not from Azerbaijan because they were driving on the wrong side of the road. Another was an "interview" with a Syrian fighter for Azerbaijan who turned out to be a Syrian-Armenian in Azeri border guard uniform. A third was a barren town implied to be in Nagorno-Karabakh, except NK is a wooded, mountainous region, it doesn't look anything like, for example, central Syria. Another problem is that those videos purporting to be evidence of Syrian mercenaries were published several days in locations before the actual Azerbaijani army actually took them over, which makes it rather unlikely that they were the ones that filmed them. Not implying anything about the Armenian military but as I pointed out above, they already got busted once trying to fake footage. Turkey also hasn't really ever been shy about deploying mercenaries in full view which makes it weird that they'd deny it this time, while Armenians have every reason to convince international observers that there are Syrian jihadis fighting for Azerbaijan. What I do buy is that Turkmen/Armenian volunteers may have traveled the border to join the fight. That is very likely considering the proximity of NK to certain regions.
