GUN BATTLE KILLS SEVERAL IN NAGORNO-KARABAKH

Russia Today
March 6 2008

Azerbaijan and Armenia have accused each other of triggering an
exchange of gunfire in the disputed Nagorno-Karabakh. The clash
allegedly killed up to 16 people – the biggest death toll in fighting
there for several years.

There have been conflicting reports of casualties from both sides.

A fragile truce had been reached in the mid 1990s following a bloody
war that killed up to 35,000 people.

Moscow and Washington have expressed concern about the latest shootout
and have called for restraint.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
