BAKU: At least 11 troops and a civilian were killed on Tuesday in a third day of fighting between Azerbaijan and Armenia, despite international calls for restraint.
Azerbaijan said seven of its troops – including a major general and a colonel – and a civilian had died on Tuesday, and Armenia said four of its troops had been killed, its first reported fatalities in the clashes.The ex-Soviet republics have for decades been locked in a simmering conflict over Azerbaijan’s southwestern separatist region of Nagorny Karabakh, which was seized by ethnic Armenian separatists in a 1990s war that claimed 30,000 lives.
Azerbaijan’s defence ministry said Armenian forces had attacked its positions in the northern Tovuz region with artillery fire, mortars and large-calibre machine-guns on Tuesday. It said several villages in the area had also come under fire. Azerbaijani political analyst Elhan Shahinoglu said the probability of a full-scale war was now “very high”.“There is a widespread popular demand in Azerbaijan to shift military actions to Karabakh.”“Baku and Yerevan, as well as the region’s geopolitical powers , don’t want a big war which they know will lead to catastrophic consequences,” he said, adding that neither side was in a clear position to win a protracted conflict.
