AZERBAIJANI 'SABOTEURS' ON TRIAL IN KARABAKH

The leaders of Armenia and Azerbaijan "have agreed to continue the
dialogue" on the disputed Nagorno-Karabakh region after their 26
October meeting in Paris, French President Francois Hollande's office
announced, Reuters reports.
Presidents Serzh Sargsyan and Ilham Aliev held the rare face to face
meeting at Hollande's invitation. It follows a period of heightened
tension in the Armenian-controlled territory, with numerous border
clashes over the summer and allegations of Azerbaijani infiltrators
gunning down a Nagorno-Karabakh military officer and murdering a
local teenager in July.
They agreed to exchange information about missing persons, Hollande's
office said. The announcement came with an implied caveat, however,
as the only date mentioned for another potential presidential meeting
was nearly a year from now, at the annual UN General Assembly in New
York, an event where it is not unusual for estranged statesmen to
talk on the sidelines.
Two men accused of killing the officer in July went on trial 27
October, Radio Free Europe reports. According to ArmeniaNow.com, the
men, Shahbaz Quliev and Dilham Askerov, are accused of killing the
teenage boy, while a third member of their group is said to have killed
the officer before being killed himself as he tried to resist arrest.
"Azerbaijan denies its citizens were saboteurs and demands that the
Armenian side treat them like prisoners of war. But justice officials
in Stepanakert say they possess irrefutable evidence that the men
were saboteurs," ArmeniaNow writes.
