BAKU. Jan 20 (Interfax) - Azerbaijan is familiar with the media reports on the death of some Azeri citizens in the fighting in Syria, Azeri Deputy Foreign Minister Khalaf Khalafov said.
"Azerbaijan is studying the information on the recent deaths of Azeri citizens in Syria," ATV television quoted Khalafov as saying on Monday.
"I regret that very much because these people were most likely involved in that by some organizations and structures," he said.
Khalafov said deaths of Azeri citizens outside Azerbaijan in the name of some ideas are unacceptable.
"It's a big loss to us. It's unacceptable. For this reason, we should pay attention to the education of the younger generation in our society, including in the educational process," he said.
According to foreign media reports, several Azeri people were killed while fighting against the Syrian government troops in Syria in the past few months.
