Armenia, Azerbaijan Border Clash Kills One
 [An Nahar] Azerbaijani forces on Tuesday killed an Armenian soldier and injured three more along the volatile border between the two arch-enemies, the Armenian government said.Garik Pogosyan, 19, was killed when the convoy he was in came under fire on a road that runs along the border, the defense ministry said in a statement. Three other soldiers in the convoy were maimed, it, adding: "This criminal step by the enemy will not go unanswered and those behind it will be held responsible." Armenia and Azerbaijan are locked in a festering decades-long feud over the breakaway region of Nagorny Karabakh. Armenia-backed separatists seized Nagorny Karabakh from Azerbaijan in a war that killed 30,000 people in the 1990s. Posted by: Fred 2013-10-23 |
