These mercenaries are mainly Syrian Turkmens and other Asian Turks specially Uyghurs who entered Azerbaijan in different battalions. No news of the exact number of these militants. However, due to increasing tension in Karabakh, hiding or denying their presence is useless and seems in near future there will be more information about them.
