Two Hamza men back in Syria after a bad time in Azerbaijan, a thread.

"We were supposed to be base guards with the Turks. That& #39;s what the job was supposed to be."
Syrians died immediately. Everyday, 5-10 killed, sometimes more.
In one batch, snipers killed 28.
Amazing: "the Azerbaijani army was there, but they didn& #39;t fight, they stayed 200m behind the Syrians."

They& #39;re literally using the Syrians as human shields.
So, since every SNA man sitting in Idlib and Afrin now knows, without a doubt, that they& #39;re being sent to stand in front of the Azerbaijanis and die, will the Syrians stop going? No.
They sent 1000 Hamza. Around 300 returned. Lots died. (I& #39;m still surprised about the return. The remaining Hamza were also desperate to leave and weren& #39;t allowed.)
Civilian flight from Baku to Ankara, military flight to Gaziantep.
