    Court in Nagorno-Karabakh convicts 2 Azerbaijani citizens of espionage


    YEREVAN, Armenia (AP) -- A court in Nagorno-Karabakh has convicted two
    Azerbaijani citizens of espionage.

    The court in Stepanakert on Monday gave a life sentence to one of the
    two convicts and sentenced the other one to 22 years in prison.

    Azerbaijan's Nagorno-Karabakh region and some adjacent territory have
    been under the control of Armenian soldiers and local Armenian forces
    since a 1994-cease-fire that ended a six-year war.

    Attempts to negotiate a peaceful settlement have stalled, and the
    sides engage in frequent shootings and attempted incursions along the
    cease-fire line. Tensions have soared since Azerbaijani forces downed
    an Armenian military helicopter last month.

    There was no immediate comment to Monday's conviction from
    Azerbaijan's authorities.
