Azeri Killed by Armenians Near Nagorno-Karabakh, APA Says

By Zulfugar Agayev – Nov 26, 2011 7:56 PM GMT+0200

An Azeri soldier was killed in a clash with Armenian forces near the
breakaway region of Nagorno- Karabakh, bringing to three the total
number of deaths in the conflict between the two former Soviet
republics in the past week, Baku-based news service APA reported,
citing Azerbaijan’s defence ministry.

Oil-rich Azerbaijan fought a war with Armenia over Nagorno- Karabakh,
a majority Armenian-populated enclave that broke free of Azerbaijan’s
control following the disintegration of the Soviet Union in 1991. The
territory remains a potential flash point in a region where Russia
fought a five-day war with Georgia in 2008 after separatist tensions
flared up over the breakaway regions of Abkhazia and South Ossetia.

Teymur Abdullayev, a spokesman for the Azeri Defense Ministry,
couldn’t be reached for comment when called on his mobile.
