Officials in the disputed territory of Nagorno-Karabakh accuse
Azerbaijan of attacks that have left three ethnic Armenian soldiers
dead.
The Nagorno-Karabakh de-facto Defense Ministry said Azerbaijani
commandos attacked its soldiers’ position on March 19, killing three
soldiers and wounding four.
Meanwhile, Azerbaijan’s Defense Ministry accused separatists of
triggering the confrontation and said 20 Armenian soldiers had been
killed or wounded.
Armenia warned Azerbaijan it would not stand by if Nagorno-Karabakh
was attacked.
Baku and Yerevan have been locked in a conflict over Azerbaijan’s
breakaway region of Nagorno-Karabakh for nearly 25 years.
Armenia-backed separatists seized the mainly ethnic Armenian-populated
region during a war in the early 1990s that killed some 30,000 people.
International diplomatic efforts to settle the conflict have brought
little progress.
