According to a report on the 25th by ITAR-Flag, Azerbaijani President Aliyev claimed on Sunday that Armenia is regularly receiving weapons from foreign countries.
At a combat meeting attended by the leadership of the Ministry of Defense of Azerbaijan, Aliyev said, “I must say that Armenia is arming itself today. The most advanced weapons are shipped to Armenia every day. We have a list of these weapons. We have all of them. Flight data: flight departure time, location, departure city, arrival time in Yerevan, and what cargo is carried on it.”
Aliyev claimed that Armenia “was and is now receiving weapons for free.” He emphasized, “We cannot remain silent about this. We are fighting single-handedly.”
At the same time, the Press Service of the General Prosecutor’s Office of Armenia stated on the 25th that the General Prosecutor’s Office of Armenia has received factual evidence that many soldiers of the Turkish armed forces’ special forces have participated in combat operations in the Nagorno-Karabakh area.
The statement stated, “As part of the investigation into the criminal case of Azerbaijan’s aggressive war against Armenia and the Naka region, the Armenian General Prosecutor’s Office has received factual evidence that since August this year, many soldiers of the Turkish armed forces’ special forces have trained the Azerbaijani army and Participated directly in combat operations.”
Azerbaijani President Aliyev previously denied the allegations that the Turkish military participated in combat operations in the conflict zone and that the Azerbaijani side had foreign mercenaries participating in the fighting.
On September 27, the situation around the Naka area escalated. Despite three ceasefire agreements, fighting in the area continues. The last time Armenia and Azerbaijan announced a ceasefire was on the evening of the 25th. Under the mediation of the United States, the three parties issued a joint statement stating that the ceasefire would be implemented at 8 o’clock on the 26th local time. However, the Press Service of the Ministry of Defense of Azerbaijan announced on the 26th that Armenia had seriously violated the new ceasefire system that took effect at 8 o’clock on October 26th local time.
