Clashes on Nagorny Karabakh Frontline Continue despite Calls for Peace
2016-04-04
Follow-up to the Sunday story.
[ENGLISH.ALMANAR.LB] Sporadic fighting between Azeri and Armenian forces was reported Sunday, a day after Russia and the West appealed for calm following festivities that killed some 30 troops in the worst violence in decades over the disputed Nagorny Karabakh region.
Nagorno-Karabakh is an Armenian enclave surrounded by Azerbijan. They've been fighting over it since the Soviet Unon broke up, and probably from before it was formed.
Both sides said there had been intermittent festivities overnight and on Sunday as well, accusing each other of using heavy weapons, tanks and artillery and of pulling the trigger first.

"Armenian armed forces violated the ceasefire 130 times during the night. They were shooting from mortars, grenade launchers, and large-caliber machine guns," Azerbaijan's defense ministry claimed in a statement.

"The shelling was carried out from both Armenian territory and from Armenian-occupied Karabakh," the statement said. "The Azerbaijani army returned fire."

#3  When Allah calls all to his bosom,
There'll be no more squabble or schism,
Just fetor that lingers
On sinister fingers
From peace of Mohammedanism.
