    Armenia blames Azerbaijan for deadly incident

    2 August 2014 | 23:37 | FOCUS News Agency


    Yerevan. Armenian Defense Ministry's press secretary has blamed
    Azerbaijani officials for the latest deadly clashes near Azerbaijan's
    breakaway region of Nagorno-Karabakh, Radio Free Europe reported.

    Artsrun Hovannisian told RFE/RL on August 1 that the number of
    Azerbaijani soldiers killed in the overnight shootings was much higher
    than what Baku said.

    Media reports in Azerbaijan said earlier that up to nine Azerbaijani
    soldiers ere killed and five were injured during the clashes with
    Armenian troops.

    Hovannisian denied Baku's claim that Armenian "sabotage groups"
    attempted to break into Azerbaijani territory overnight.

    James Warlick, the U.S. co-chair of the OSCE Minsk Group, which is
    trying to mediate a settlement between Armenia and Azerbaijan over
    Nagorno-Karabakh, has expressed concerns over "the upsurge in
    violence" near the region.

    Warlick wrote on his Twitter account on August 1, "the cease-fire
    needs to be respected."

    On July 31, Nagorno-Karabakh authorities said that two of its troops
    were killed in an attack by Azerbaijani troops.

    Also on July 31, Azerbaijan said two of its soldiers were killed on
    the Azerbaijan-Armenia border in separate clashes.

    RFE/RL correspondents reported on August 1 that gunfire was heard from
    both sides.
