A resident of the village of Nerkin Karmirakhbyur, Tavush region of
Armenia, was killed in an attack coming from Azerbaijan, the region's
hospital told reporters on Friday.
The doctors said Vanik Gukasyan, 60, died from a gunshot wound.
Manvel Kamenatdyan, the elder of the village, told reporters Gukasyan
was wounded near his house on Thursday and died on his way to
hospital.
In the meantime, Artsrun Ovannisyan, press officer for the Armenian
defense minister, told reporters the Azeri military had breached the
ceasefire regime on all tracks along the border on the Tavush region.
"Fire was opened on populated areas. Armenia opened fire on the Azeri
positions from which the shots had been fired," he said.

restraint in resolving the Karabakh conflict.
The OSCE reiterated the importance of measures that could rule out the
possibility of incidents between Azerbaijan and Armenia.
