Russian Mercenaries Fighting For Azerbaijan Against Armenia

In late 1993, there were reports that Azerbaijan - with the help of Russian military commissariats - was recruiting mercenaries from the central Russian provinces of Ivanovo and Vladimir. The Boston Globe reported that Russian military trainers were training Azerbaijani troops near the city of Ganje in northern Azerbaijan, although who sent them was unclear. Both Armenian and Western sources allege that trained Slavic mercenaries operated heavy and mechanized weapons in Azerbaijan's December 1993 offensive. Human Rights Watch/Helsinki spoke with three prisoners of war - two ethnic Russians and one Ukrainian - whom Karabakh authorities charge with being mercenaries. The interview were conducted at Shusha Prison, Shusha, Nagorno-Karabakh, and the second floor of the Stepanakert Children's Hospital on April 15, 1994. The Ukrainian, eighteen, admitted he served in the Azerbaijani army after he fled Kiev to avoid the police. He went to Azerbaijan because he had heard that foreigners who served in its army were paid well. He had never served in the Soviet army. The two Russians denied being mercenaries, but gave rather convoluted and unlikely stories of how they ended up in the Azerbaijani army. In 1993 there were also numerous press reports of American and British mercenaries training Azerbaijani troops. Allegedly, the American petroleum company "Megaoil", which reportedly has links with retired U.S. Army General Richard Secord, had hired American military personnel and was training Azerbaijani troops. The United States Justice Department is investigating the matter as a possible violation of U.S. law. The Independent in London in January 1994 reported a purported deal to trade British military trainers and weapons for Azerbaijani oil. Retired Turkish military officers are reported to train Azeri army units. The Turkish government allegedly supplies weapons.

i don't understand. someone please explain why they fight each other.(english please)

[ArmenianNetwork]

@JDeGroom Armenia and Azerbaijan were part of Soviet Union. Soviets had military bases stationed in Armenia and Azerbaijan. When Soviet Union collapsed, Many Russian pilots or military officers were out of jobs. Azerbaijan would pay them 5000 dollars for each flight to bomb Armenian populated areas.

[JDeGroom]

Thanks for reply, but I still do not understand. Is this war a dispute about territory? Religion? Government?

[ArmenianNetwork]

thank you, living dream. who is fighting alongside Armenia? Is USA supplying any help?

[livingdream1234]

azeris blame Armenians over the Karabakh war, but this is just few things that azeris did to boost their chances of beating Armenians. In addition to all this, muslims were recruited to fight for them. They played dirty and don't even admit it, just like turkey. In addition to all these the azeris and turks lie about the genocide and continue denying and taking responsibility.
