Armenia and Azerbaijan are reporting fighting near the disputed
territory of Nagorno-Karabakh.
Armenia’s prime minister claims there are multiple deaths among
Azerbaijani troops, but Azerbaijani officials are not confirming any
casualties. Local media reports in Azerbaijan Tuesday say two soldiers
have been killed.
The clashes come as Azerbaijan’s president Ilham Aliev issues his
latest warning that the ex-Soviet nation must be prepared to use
force to regain control over Nagorno-Karabakh.
