Azerbaijan accused forces backed by neighbouring Armenia on
Monday of killing an Azeri soldier near the occupied territory of
Nagorno-Karabakh.
Azerbaijan’s Defence Ministry said in a statement that the soldier
had been shot dead on Sunday by a sniper near the line of contact
with Nagorno-Karabakh, which is controlled by ethnic Armenians but
is inside Azerbaijan.
The ministry described this as a violation of a truce signed in 1994
but a military spokesman in Nagorno-Karabakh said the statement by
Azerbaijan “does not correspond with reality” and denied violating
the terms of the truce.
