Sharjah 24 – AFP: Four Armenian fighters died on Wednesday from Azerbaijani fire in the breakaway Nagorno-Karabakh region, as Baku and Yerevan held peace talks mediated by the United States.
Armenia and Azerbaijan have been locked in a decades-long conflict for control of the mountainous region in Azerbaijan.
The clashes erupted a day after the United States opened three days of peace talks between the Caucasus arch foes, in the latest attempt to quell a conflict that has flared repeatedly.
There have been frequent clashes along the Armenian-Azerbaijani border, despite the two former Soviet republics trying to negotiate a peace agreement under mediation by the European Union and United States.
