    BAKU March 31 -- Azerbaijan's Defense Ministry on Thursday reported
    another cease-fire violation by the Armenian side, in which an
    Azerbaijani soldier was killed by sniper fire.

    "An Azerbaijani soldier was killed by a sniper shot from Armenian
    positions near the village of Alibeili in the Azerbaijani Tovuz
    district," acting head of the Azerbaijani Defense Ministry's press
    service Ilgar Verdiyev told Interfax on Thursday.

    The soldier was called up to military service in 2005, he said.

    Earlier, Sabine Freizer, one of the leaders of the International
    Crisis Group, said that last month alone, cease-fire violations in
    the zone of the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh
    killed at least 19 people, including eight civilians.

    In 2005, the death toll rose to at least 90.
