Azerbaijani media revealed the number of mercenaries killed in Syria, as well as their photographs.

30 mercenaries were reported to have been killed in Syria, with Damascus earlier naming certain Azeri terrorists among those killed by government forces.

In recent years, Azeri mercenaries have been involved in acts of terrorism in Russia, Afghanistan and Syria. Baku, however, gives those proven guilty of involvement in “illegal armed formations” in Afghanistan short jail terms.
