Armenia - Azerbaijan Tensions Are On The Rise Again



Voice of America: Tensions Rise Again Between Armenia, Azerbaijan

The Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe has expressed concern about an outbreak of violence near the Armenia-Azerbaijan border, in which three people died late Thursday.

Armenia says three civilians died in shelling and gunfire in villages near the border with Azerbaijan. Government officials said two others were wounded in the shelling and condemned the incident as an "act of provocation" by Azerbaijan.

Azerbaijan did not answer the accusation directly but said earlier in the day that Azerbaijani villages near the border with Armenia had come under fire and Azeri forces retaliated.
