    ARMENIAN SOLDIER KILLED IN CLASHES WITH AZERBAIJANI SOLDIERS

    BAKU, Azerbaijan - An Armenian soldier has been killed in border
    clashes with Azerbaijani forces, according to a statement from the
    Azerbaijani Ministry of Defense on Tuesday.

    The clashes erupted on Monday between Armenian and Azerbaijani soldiers
    when an Armenian reconnaissance unit tried to cross the front line
    in southern Azerbaijan, the statement said.

    The situation is now under the control and the Azerbaijani army
    suffered no losses, the statement added.

    Armenian officials strongly denied these Azerbaijani statements and
    claimed the Azerbaijani army had attacked an Armenian soldier.

    On May 12, 1994 a cease-fire agreement was signed between Azerbaijan
    and Armenia after two decades of conflict over the disputed territory.

    In February 1988, the regional parliament in Nagorno-Karabakh,
    which is largely populated by ethnic Armenians, voted to declare its
    independence from Azerbaijan.

    Armenia's parliament voted to recognize the independence, a move that
    prompted a forceful evacuation of over 200,000 ethnic Azerbaijanis
    from Armenia.

    Thousands of Azerbaijani civilians lost their lives in the resulting
    conflict. (AA)
