Armenian Troops Fire at Azeri Army in Horadiz, Report Says
Armenian troops stationed in the occupied southwestern Fuzuli
District fired at Azerbaijan's army positions in Horadiz settlement
on Friday, the Karabakh bureau of ANS reported.
According to the report, Armenians ceased shooting after Azerbaijani
soldiers fired back and shot one Armenian soldier to death.
ANS said the press office of Azerbaijan's Ministry of Defense neither
confirmed nor refuted the report.
Armenia and Azerbaijan, two former Soviet republics in the Southern
Caucasus, are at a state of no war no peace after a cease-fire
agreement was signed between the two in May 1994.
During a three-year war between the two countries in early 1990s,
Armenia has invaded and taken control over one-fifth of Azerbaijan's
territories, forcing over 700,000 civilians to leave their homes.
The shaky cease-fire agreement that has kept the status quo since
1994 is frequently violated by sporadic exchange of fires in the
frontline separating Azerbaian from its occupied territories.
