| 2015-09-27 |
| [RFE/RL] Four Armenian soldiers were killed by artillery and gunfire from Azerbaijani forces on September 25 near the breakaway Nagorno-Karabakh region, according to Nagorno-Karabakh's defense ministry. This latest clash comes a day after Armenia said three civilian women were killed by Azerbaijani gunfire in Armenia's Tavush region. Azerbaijan did not immediately comment, but has accused Armenia of "turning civilians into a target by deliberately stationing its firing positions in and around civilian facilities to shell positions of the Azerbaijani armed forces." On September 25, mediators of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe expressed "serious concerns about Armenian and Azerbaijani forces using mortars and heavy weapons in and around civilian areas." |
