    [Presenter] The Armenians who recently started fires in Qazax
    [northwest Azerbaijan] have now started fires in several villages in
    Tovuz. The fires were extinguished owing to the efforts of the local
    population last night. But the danger has not subsided yet.

    [Correspondent reporting by telephone] A fire started in Armenia's
    Shamshaddin [Idzhevan] District at about 2000 [1500 gmt] yesterday
    evening. The fire soon spread to the neutral territory. After that,
    the fire spread to the pastures of the village of Alibayli in Tovuz
    District. According to villagers, the fire continued all night. Seven
    anti-tank and four anti-personnel mines planted in the neutral zone
    exploded during the fire. Valeh Rzayev, a representative of the
    Alibayli village executive authorities, said that about 100 ha of
    land had burnt.

    Along with the pastures belonging to villagers, municipal land plots
    have also burnt. The fire has inflicted great damage on villagers. The
    representative of the executive authorities said that the fire had
    been extinguished by villagers themselves - they did not call fire
    engines as the opposite side could open fire at any moment. The fire
    has already been put out.
