AFP - Armenian forces killed an Azerbaijani soldier on Tuesday in the
latest outbreak of border violence over the disputed Nagorny Karabakh
region, the defence ministry in Baku said.
Soldier Mekhman Sadygov died "as a result of a ceasefire violation
by Armenia," the ministry said in a statement, declining to provide
further details about the incident.
Armenia-backed separatists seized Nagorny Karabakh from Azerbaijan in
a 1990s war that killed 30,000 people. Despite years of negotiations
since a 1994 ceasefire, the two sides have still not signed a peace
deal.
Azerbaijan has threatened to take back the disputed region by force
if negotiations do not yield results, while Armenia has vowed to
retaliate against any military action.
