    BAKU CALLS 'RUBBISH' CLAIMS OF KARABAKH KILLING OF SEVEN AZERI SOLDIERS

    Armenia spreads false information about the alleged killing of several
    Azeri soldiers along the contact line, the Azeri Defense Ministry
    told Interfax on Monday.

    "The Armenian report claiming the alleged death of seven servicemen
    of the Azeri army along the Armenian-Azeri contact line is rubbish
    and misinformation," Azeri Defense Ministry deputy spokesman Teimur
    Abdullayev said, commenting on a report of the unrecognized Karabakh
    Republic that "about seven" Azeri servicemen died from November 20
    to 25.

    Abdullayev confirmed the death of one soldier in the Terter sector
    of the frontline.

    The Defense Ministry of the unrecognized Karabakh Republic reported
    last Saturday that seven Azeri servicemen were killed in retaliation
    of the murder of two Karabakh servicemen.

    "In retaliation for the death of two Karabakh servicemen on November
    19 and 20, the Karabakh side took punitive measures it had warned
    about. According to the Karabakh army intelligence, about seven Azeri
    servicemen were killed and some were injured in the preventive measures
    taken on November 20-25," a ministry representative told Interfax.

    He also said that Azerbaijan breached the ceasefire regime along the
    contact line about 270 times last week.

    The conduct of the Azeri Armed Forces "forces Karabakh to take tough
    and proportionate measures," the Karabakh Defense Ministry said.

    There will be no lull on the Armenian-Azeri border until the Karabakh
    problem is solved, Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan said on Saturday.

    "There will be no lull on the border until the problem is resolved.
    However, we wish that the turbulent atmosphere does not cause human
    casualties," he told a press briefing in the Gegharkunik region in
    northern Armenia.

    He placed the blame for the death of Armenian soldiers on the Azeri
    authorities. "Baku is also responsible for the death of Azerbaijani
    soldiers," he said.

    "In order to solve a problem, we need to want that and to be
    confident. No goal can be achieved without certitude," he said.
