Report Radio France International (RFI), about 30 volunteer militias received crash training before joining the Armenian forces on the border. Some of them reportedly never wielded weapons before.

Quoted from DailySabah, Azerbaijan’s head of the press service, Colonel Vagif Dargahli, said the Armenian army had asked for mercenaries from Syria and other Middle Eastern countries. The Ambassador of Azerbaijan to Turkey, Khazar Ibrahim, previously confirmed the same claim.
Ibrahim pointed out that people from other countries joined the conflict to support Yerevan. He said terrorist groups were also fighting between Armenian ranks. Among those involved included the PKK and the Armenian Secret Army for the Liberation of Armenia (ASALA) to dive into the Nagorno-Karabakh region and provide them with weapons.
