    Azerbaijan says soldier killed on Armenian border

    Agence France Presse -- English

    BAKU, March 30 2006 -- Azerbaijan accused Armenia Thursday of breaking
    a ceasefire and responsibility for the death of one of its soldiers
    on their common border.

    "An Azeri soldier was killed during the habitual violations of the
    ceasefire by the Armenian side," the defence ministry said in Baku.

    "Azerbaijan's positions in the Tovuz region were targeted by Armenian
    military units from the Berd area," it said.

    The two neighbours, which fought a war in the early 1990s over
    Azerbaijan's Armenian-populated enclave of Nagorno-Karabakh, regularly
    charge each other with ceasefire violations.

    Azerbaijan accused Armenia on March 7 of causing the death of an
    Azeri soldier in the Karabakh region. Armenia quickly denied the
    charge and responded with counter-accusations that Azeri troops had
    killed an Armenian soldier the previous week.
