    Putin meets with Armenian and Azerbaijani presidents


    Russian President Vladimir Putin is holding a joint meeting with the
    leaders of Azerbaijan and Armenia, as concerns mount over the
    escalation of fighting over the South Caucasus region
    Nagorno-Karabakh.

    Putin met Sunday with Armenian President Serge Sarkisian and
    Azerbaijan President Ilham Aliyev in Sochi to discuss rising tensions
    in the disputed territory, where 19 soldiers were killed in the past
    week.

    Nagorno-Karabakh is a part of Azerbaijan but the region and some
    surrounding territory have been under the control of Armenian soldiers
    and local Armenian forces since a 1994 cease-fire ended a separatist
    war. Since then, there have been sporadic clashes.
