    ARMENIAN SOLDIER KILLED NEAR KARABAKH

    Azerbaijani forces killed an Armenian soldier in the latest deadly
    clash near breakaway Nagorny Karabakh, the separatist region's defense
    ministry said Wednesday.

    "Conscript Gor Kazaruyan, 21, was shot dead by enemy fire" on Tuesday
    at the Karabakh frontline's north-eastern sector, Karabakh's defense
    ministry said in a statement.

    Last year, 15 people from both sides were reported to have been
    killed amid clashes between Armenian and Azerbaijani troops along
    their border and in the disputed region of Nagorny Karabakh.

    Armenia-backed separatists seized Karabakh from Azerbaijan in a war
    in the 1990s that left some 30,000 dead, and no final peace deal has
    been signed since the ceasefire.

    Azerbaijan has threatened to take back the disputed region by force
    if negotiations do not yield results, while Armenia has vowed massive
    retaliation against any military action.
