    SEVERAL KILLED IN NAGORNO-KARABAKH CLASH

    BBC
    01 Sept 10

    Tensions remain high in the so-called "frozen conflict" Clashes between
    the forces of Azerbaijan and Armenian-backed Nagorno-Karabakh have
    left several soldiers dead, with both sides blaming the other for
    the violence.

    Azerbaijan's defence ministry said three Armenians and two Azeris
    were killed following an Armenian attack.

    Armenian reports said one Armenian was wounded repelling Azeri forces,
    and up to seven Azeris were wounded or killed.

    Recent attempts to solve the "frozen conflict" have failed to gather
    steam.

    There have been a number of skirmishes in recent months across the
    ceasefire line dating to the 1990s.

    Fighting broke out in the late 1980s as the Soviet Union headed towards
    collapse, with ethnic Armenians taking control of Nagorno-Karabakh
    and a land corridor linking it to Armenia.

    Negotiations between the two countries, under a fresh peace drive
    backed by the US and Russia, took place last year but have since
    stalled.
