    AZERBAIJANI 'SABOTEURS' ON TRIAL IN KARABAKH

    Transitions On Line, Czech Republic
    Oct 29 2014

    The leaders of Armenia and Azerbaijan "have agreed to continue the
    dialogue" on the disputed Nagorno-Karabakh region after their 26
    October meeting in Paris, French President Francois Hollande's office
    announced, Reuters reports.

    Presidents Serzh Sargsyan and Ilham Aliev held the rare face to face
    meeting at Hollande's invitation. It follows a period of heightened
    tension in the Armenian-controlled territory, with numerous border
    clashes over the summer and allegations of Azerbaijani infiltrators
    gunning down a Nagorno-Karabakh military officer and murdering a
    local teenager in July.

    They agreed to exchange information about missing persons, Hollande's
    office said. The announcement came with an implied caveat, however,
    as the only date mentioned for another potential presidential meeting
    was nearly a year from now, at the annual UN General Assembly in New
    York, an event where it is not unusual for estranged statesmen to
    talk on the sidelines.

    Two men accused of killing the officer in July went on trial 27
    October, Radio Free Europe reports. According to ArmeniaNow.com, the
    men, Shahbaz Quliev and Dilham Askerov, are accused of killing the
    teenage boy, while a third member of their group is said to have killed
    the officer before being killed himself as he tried to resist arrest.

    "Azerbaijan denies its citizens were saboteurs and demands that the
    Armenian side treat them like prisoners of war. But justice officials
    in Stepanakert say they possess irrefutable evidence that the men
    were saboteurs," ArmeniaNow writes.
