    KARABAKH DENIES SHELLING AZERBAIJAN'S ARMY POSITIONS

    One Azerbaijanian serviceman was killed and another was injured when
    national army positions were shelled in the Fizulinsky district in
    the southwest of the country, spokesman for the Azerbaijan's Defense
    Ministry Ilgar Verdiyev told Itar-Tass in Baku on Monday. A Nagorno
    Karabakh official denied the report.

    Verdiyev claimed shooting had come from the occupied parts of the
    Fizulinsky district. Seven Azerbaijanian servicemen have died and 11
    have been wounded in the zone of the Karabakh conflict since early
    March, according to him.

    Spokesman for the Defense Ministry of the self-proclaimed
    Nagorno-Karabakh republic Lt-Col Senor Asratyan told Tass the
    information given by Azerbaijan's military does not correspond
    to reality.

    A mine exploded on the southwestern stretch of the contact line between
    Azerbaijan and Nagorno Karabakh on Sunday, in which Azerbaijanian
    troops might have been hurt.

    "In actual fact, the military leadership of Azerbaijan is trying to put
    the responsibility on Karabakh or Armenia for its inept administration
    of troops," Asratyan said.
