    Nagorno-Karabakh says two wounded as Azeris fire at ambulance

    YEREVAN. April 27


    Two people were wounded as Azeri armed forces positioned across the
    border from Azerbaijan's disputed enclave of Nagorno-Karabakh opened
    fire on Tuesday on an ambulance on Nagorno-Karabakh territory,
    "cynically violating" the ceasefire, the enclave's defense ministry
    said on Thursday.

    "On April 24, the enemy violated the ceasefire on the eastern front
    and opened fire on an ambulance. Servicemen Andranik Madoyan and
    Ernest Sarkisian were wounded," the ministry told Interfax.

    More than 2,000 shots had been fired from Azeri territory "over the
    recent period," it said. "This means that the enemy is continuing its
    destabilization course along the line of contact between the Armenian
    and Azeri forces. Cynically violating the Geneva convention, the Azeri
    side opens fire on an ambulance with the red cross," the ministry
    said.

    The Armenian Defense Ministry said that on Wednesday Azeri forces
    opened fire on the village of Doveg in Armenia's Tavush region,
    damaging a kindergarten building and a truck parked near it. "For
    security reasons, the children and personnel of the kindergarten had
    been evacuated. No one was hurt," the ministry said in a statement.
