Nagorno-Karabakh Accuses Azerbaijan Of Killing Two Soldiers

Saturday 3rd January, 2015

Defense officials in the disputed territory of Nagorno-Karabakh have
accused Azerbaijan of attacks that left two ethnic Armenian soldiers
dead.

A statement from the Nagorno-Karabakh Defense Ministry said
Azerbaijani infiltrators crossed the buffer zone that separates the
region from the rest of Azerbaijan early on January 3 and opened fire.

Armenia warned Azerbaijan of consequences in case of more attacks.

The Azerbaijani Defense Ministry denies entering the territory.

Nagorno-Karabakh is located within Azerbaijan’s borders but is
inhabited almost entirely by ethnic Armenians.

A 1994 truce ended six years of bitter fighting between the two sides,
but both sides frequently claim attacks despite the cease-fire.
