There is no information who is responsible in the involvement of mercenaries in the hostilities in Nagorno-Karabakh, said Heiko Maas, the Chair of the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe, Federal Minister for Foreign Affairs of Germany.

Report's French Service informs that the German politician made the remark in response to the question of an Armenian MP at the winter session of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE).

"With regard to Nagorno Karabakh, based on current intelligence, we have to assume that a certain number of Syrian fighters are indeed in the crisis area. There are many international efforts to clarify how they are being used there, how large their numbers are and who is responsible for this. Howewer, this has nor been conclusively achieved so far", Maas said.
