FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda The Azerbaijani Defense Ministry blamed the Tuesday fighting on “a group of Armenian saboteurs” who attempted to penetrate the Azeri military positions in the northwestern town of Gazakh, AFP reported.
The Armenian side, however, accused Azerbaijan of causing the violence, saying that “a subversive group of 15 to 20 people attempted to infiltrate Armenian territory”.
On Monday, Yerevan claimed Azeri forces had killed three of its soldiers and wounded six more after an attempted incursion ended in a gun battle on the border.
Baku, however, denied the allegation.
Azerbaijan and Armenia have long been at loggerheads over control of Nagorno- Karabakh.
Some 30,000 people lost their lives and hundreds of thousands of people were displaced in both countries in a war between the neighbors in the 1990s, which saw Armenia-backed separatists take the mountainous territory.
Years of negotiations since the 1994 ceasefire has failed yield a final peace deal, with frequent exchanges of gunfire reported along the front line.
Azerbaijan has threatened to use force to take back Karabakh if peace talks fail to yield satisfactory results, but Armenia has warned of large-scale retaliation against any military action.
The Tuesday violence erupted as US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is visiting the volatile Caucasus region. Clinton expressed concern over the rising tensions and warned the use of force will not resolve the long-running territorial conflict between the two neighbors.
