BBC Armenia and Azerbaijan fight over disputed Nagorno-Karabakh 27 September 2020

BBC Armenia-Azerbaijan: What's behind the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict? 28 September 2020

「Nagorno-Karabakh is part of Azerbaijan, but its population is majority Armenian. As the Soviet Union saw increasing tensions in its constituent republics in the 1980s, Nagorno-Karabakh voted to become part of Armenia - sparking a war which stopped with a ceasefire in 1994.」

「Also on Thursday President Macron accused Turkey of sending Syrian jihadists to fight in Nagorno-Karabakh.

"It is a very serious new fact, which changes the situation," he said」

「BBC Arabic earlier this week spoke to a man who said he had been recruited in northern Syria and sent via Turkey to fight in the conflict. Abdullah - not his real name - said he had been sent to Nagorno-Karabakh "wearing Azerbaijani uniform" soon after the fighting broke out.」

　ところで南宋を攻め潰したあと、「余剰」となった兵力は対日戦に転用されてませんでしたっけとか、二度の大阪の戦闘の後の余剰兵力って例えばタイあたりに流出しなかったけかとか、そんなことをちょっと。

「The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reports that about 900 Syrian mercenaries have been transported to Azerbaijan by Turkish security companies. But they add that Armenian-born fighters in Syria have also been transported to Armenia to join the fight.」

　…まあ、こっちの説明も十二分に説明的ですが。
