    Azerbaijan denies liability for Armenian sergeant's death

    BAKU March 2


    The Azeri Defense Ministry has denied allegations by Armenian military
    sources that an Armenian serviceman was killed by Azeri fire at a
    contact line with the Azeri armed forces on March 1.

    Teymur Abdullayev, a spokesman for the Azeri Defense Ministry,
    described these reports as "lies" in an interview with Interfax.

    "The Armenian sergeant died following a skirmish between Armenian
    soldiers at the contact line, in which another Armenian soldier was
    injured. Doctors from the Yerevan Military Hospital were dispatched
    for his salvation. The Armenian military prosecution service has
    opened a criminal case into the incident, and three people have been
    held liable," Abdullayev said.
