One Armenian soldier was killed and two others wounded while repulsing
an attack by an Azeri unit trying to infiltrate Nagorno-Karabakh
positions at around 4 a.m. this morning from the contact point
in Horadiz.
The press service of the Karabakh Defense Army reported that the
aggression was stopped, with Azeris also suffering losses. It added
that this is the fourth attempt in June alone by Azeri forces to
penetrate the borders with Armenia and Karabakh.
A day earlier, an Azeri unit of 15 soldiers reportedly tried to
infiltrate the Armenian border near the village of Voskepar in the
Tavush province but withdrew after incurring heavy losses.
Sources in Baku reported that five Azeri soldiers were killed and
several others were wounded. There were no casualties on the Armenian
side. The incident took place in the early hours of Tuesday, June 5.
A similar attempt was foiled on June 4 when Azeri forces tried to
infiltrate the Armenian border near the Berdavan and Chinari villages
in Tavush. Three Armenian soldiers were killed during the incident
and several others were wounded.
The escalation of tensions along the Armenian-Azerbaijani border and
near Karabakh comes amid a continuing regional tour by U.S. Secretary
of State Hillary Clinton whose itinerary included Baku, on Wednesday.
Clinton said she was very concerned about "the danger of escalation
of tensions and the senseless deaths of young soldiers and innocent
civilians" as she answered media questions at a press conference
in Yerevan on Monday. "The use of force will not resolve the
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and therefore force must not be used. We
are calling on everyone to renounce force as well as refraining from
violence," the U.S. official said, promising to bring the matter up
with Azeri President Ilham Aliyev on a visit to Azerbaijan.
Armenian military authorities, meanwhile, reported continuing tension
in the northeastern borderlands in Tavush where they said more shelling
took place overnight.
