Fighting has erupted since last month with Armenia and Azerbaijan over the Nagrono-Karabakh opposition. Although the two countries recently agreed to a humanitarian ceasefire, both countries have accused each other of retaliatory attacks.
Nagorno-Karabakh authorities denied that 49 members of their army were killed on Thursday.
Turkish media quoted Yeni াফ afak as saying that the number of Armenian victims in the renewed conflict since September 28 had risen to 704, citing the region’s Defense Ministry.
Since September 26, Armenia and Azerbaijan have been at war with the Nagorno-Karabakh opposition. Later, on October 10, marathon talks were held between Armenia and Azerbaijan under the auspices of Russia.
Both sides agreed to a temporary ceasefire on humanitarian grounds. During the ceasefire, the two countries agreed to exchange POWs and other prisoners and hand over their bodies.
The ceasefire would take effect on October 11. But just minutes after the ceasefire, Armenia and Azerbaijan accused each other of violating the ceasefire.
The Karabakh region is internationally recognized as a territory of Azerbaijan. However, the region has been controlled by ethnic Armenians since the 1990s. In that decade, more than 30,000 people died in wars with Armenia and Azerbaijan.
