Azerbaijani armed forces continue the “slow” mobilization after the bilateral agreement to put halt on fire reached in Moscow and albeit assurances by the Azerbaijani Defense Army about the lack of any need to mobilize the personnel reserves.   

Considering the losses suffered by the elite unites of the Azerbaijani army during the assault against the NKR Defense Army (Azerbaijani open sources indicate 90 bodies fully identified) an urgent need arose to involve relevantly trained personnel.

For that purpose, as revealed, Azerbaijani cadets studying at Turkish military institutions, were urgently recalled. 

The photo, which was shot in a Turkish airport, speaks vividly of a mobilization presumably under a seal of secrecy to avoid criticism from both own population and the international community. The photo shows the Azerbaijani servicemen boarding the plane that had brought the bodies of the so-called “The Grey Wolves” units and the Turkish military.

Despite the silence of the Azerbaijan media on the numerous losses, that is obvious that number of Azerbaijani websites (for example - Optime.az) citing unnamed sources of the Azerbaijani Defense Army reported on April 11 that Azerbaijani side had recovered 56 bodies from the scene of the clashes based on the previously reached bilateral agreement.

According to Azerbaijani media publications, “Body identification is currently underway, and the official information will be provided later.”
