YEREVAN, Armenia - Armenia says it will retaliate for the weekend
killings of two ethnic Armenian soldiers by Azeri snipers who fired
into a disputed breakaway enclave.
Nagorno-Karabakh is a mountainous enclave within the Caspian Sea
nation of Azerbaijan, but since the end of a six-year separatist war
in 1994 it has been under the control of Armenian troops and ethnic
Armenian forces.
Violations of the 1994 cease-fire have been frequent, and Armenian
authorities said two servicemen from Nagorno-Karabakh were killed
Sunday and Saturday.
Armenia's Defense Ministry spokesman David Karapetian said Monday
the retaliation for the soldiers' deaths will be "disproportionate."
His Azeri counterpart, Teymur Abdullayev, said a shootout at the
border was provoked by Armenians.
