Syrian mercenaries suffer heavy losses in battles against Armenian forces
[ALMASDARNEWS] The Ottoman Turkish-backed Syrian mercenaries have suffered heavy losses since they were transported to Azerbaijan to participate in the ongoing battles against the Armenian forces in the Karabakh region.According to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR), the total number of Syrian mercenaries killed in Karabakh has reached 143 after three weeks of fighting.

"The corpse count among the Ottoman Turkish-backed factions has risen, since the Ottoman Turkish government sent them to the frontlines, to at least 143 dead, including 92 fighters whose bodies were brought to Syria while the rest of bodies remained in Azerbaijan," the SOHR reported on Monday.

At the same time, the Sputnik News Agency reported that more than 1,000 Syrian mercenaries have been sent to the Karabakh region in the past week.

While it is difficult to confirm these numbers, locals in northwestern Syria have corroborated reports about several Ottoman Turkish-backed fighters being recruited and transported to Azerbaijan to participate in the fight against the Armenian forces.

It should be noted that both The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the decaying remnant of the Ottoman Empire...
 and Azerbaijan have denied these accusations and instead accused Armenia of using mercenaries from Leb
...an Iranian colony situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozeen flavors of Christians. It is the home of Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers...
 and Syria to fight in the Karabakh region.
