Crossfire War - Exchange of Fire on Armenia/Azerbaijan Border
By Willard Payne
Crossfire War - TEHRAN - BAKU WATCH - South Caucasus - Caspian
Theatre: Tehran - Ankara - Baku/Yerevan - Moscow - Berlin -
Washington; Exchange of Fire Between Armenia/Azerbaijan - Tehran
Support of Baku Designed to Create Another Front Against Moscow
Night Watch: YEREVAN - RIA reports Armenia has claimed one of its
soldiers was killed by an Azerbaijani sniper on Armenia's northeast
border with its hated enemy Azerbaijan. Baku denied the accusation
and says it was Yerevan that began the exchange of fire when Armenian
units opened small arms fire on Azerbaijan positions. This is a
continuation of the war between the two countries that began in 1988
over the Azerbaijan territory of Nagorno-Karabakh. However, the
territory is inside Azerbaijan most of its population is Armenian.
More than 30,000 lives were lost before the 1994 ceasefire but more
than 100 people have been killed in various armed incidents since
then. [RIA]
Tehran - Ankara realize this is another front they can use to engage
Russian forces in the hope Moscow and the West will be prevented from
controlling the resources in this strategic crossroads of energy
pipelines. It is no coincidence the latest shooting comes just one
month after crossfirewar.com reported increased military cooperation
between Tehran-Baku. Berlin-Washington have increased their military
cooperation and support of Moscow to make certain when Russia
responds to these conflicts in the South Caucasus the impact will be
felt by Tehran and Ankara.
