(MENAFN- Arab Times) A court in ex-Soviet Azerbaijan on Wednesday slapped jail terms of between 12 and 14 years on three men for fighting in Syria, a source familiar with the case told AFP. Bakhtiyar Shahbazi and Sadig Mamedzade got 14 years while Shahbazi's son, Bahruz, was handed 12 years after having been found guilty of taking part in an armed conflict outside their country. The three were among 10 people arrested on suspicion of fighting in Syria in January. Last month, the energy-rich South Caucasian country sentenced 10 others to prison for fighting alongside the Islamic State, which has seized swathes of territory in Syria and Iraq.
