Four Armenian Soldiers Killed in Border Clash with Azerbaijan Amidst Peace Talks

Armenian government today said that four of its soldiers were killed along the nation's heavily guarded border by Azerbaijan forces.

Meanwhile, Azerbaijan said that it had staged a revenge operation in retaliation for a provocation Armenian forces had committed the day before. Azerbaijan's Defense Ministry said, Armenian forces had fired at Baku's positions along a northwestern section of the border. However, Armenia has denied these claims. This happens as the



countries are involved in peace talks to end a 30-year-long conflict.

On the other hand, Kremlin called on Armenia and Azerbaijan to exercise restraint following the latest incident. Russia has a contingent of peacekeepers deployed in the region, and its border guards patrol Armenia's frontiers. Armenia and Azerbaijan have fought two wars and seen three decades of conflict over the Nagorno-Karabakh region.
