BBC: Azerbaijan protesters demand war after Armenia clashes
Thousands have demonstrated in Azerbaijan calling for war after recent deadly clashes with neighbouring Armenia.

Security forces responded with water cannon and tear gas to disperse the crowds.
The recent border fighting has killed at least 16 people.
