BAKU -
Azerbaijan said Friday it had lost 16 soldiers in three days of
clashes with arch-foe Armenia near the disputed Nagorny Karabakh
region in a dramatic spike in tensions in the long-simmering
territorial conflict.
Azerbaijan's defense ministry said Armenian troops had ramped up their
activity in the past few days and attacked Azeri positions.
"Reconnaissance and sabotage groups of the Armenian armed forces
attempted to break through the line of contact between the troops
along the entire front line," the ministry said, adding that Armenian
troops had been repelled. "As a result of clashes over the past three
days, 16 Azeri troops have died," it said.
