Al-Mismari: Turkey is transferring “terrorists” from Libya to Azerbaijan
Al-Mismari said during a press conference on Facebook Thursday that “extremist groups control airports in the west of the country”.
In a new confirmation of Ankara’s role in the ongoing conflict in the Nagorno-Karabakh region between Armenia and Azerbaijan, Libyan army spokesman Ahmed Al-Mesmari said: “Turkey is transferring Syrian and non-Syrian terrorists from Libya to Azerbaijan.”
He also stressed that “we have a very serious security threat in the west of the country”.
He added: “Tens of thousands of Syrian and non-Syrian mercenaries were transported to Libya via Mitiga and Misrata airports.”
Al-Mismari showed pictures that he described as the body of Abu Abdullah al-Rubai al-Tikriti, the leader of the “ISIS” organization in North Africa, who was killed on September 14th.

Planes loaded with mercenaries
It is noteworthy that the director of the Department of Moral Guidance, Major General Khaled Al-Mahjoub, announced in a statement to Al-Arabiya.net on September 29th that 4 planes carrying Syrian mercenaries were discovered, which are likely en route to Azerbaijan, Turkey’s ally, are to throw them as fighters and support Baku in border conflict with Armenia.
Al-Mahjoub pointed out that this step could be related to the current political developments in Libya.
