With the deployment of heavy weapons, fighting between Azerbaijani and Armenian forces continues in the disputed Nagorno-Karabakh region, opposing parties reported Monday morning.
The Armenian Defense Ministry said the clashes lasted all night, writes the MTI. According to the Azerbaijani Defense Ministry, the cannon of the Armenian forces fired at Terter.
According to the Nagorno-Karabakh authorities, at least 15 of its soldiers were killed in the fight against the Azerbaijani forces.
The two neighboring Soviet republics have long had territorial disputes with each other: Nagorno-Karabakh, which was predominantly inhabited by Armenians, declared its independence in 1991, separated from Azerbaijan. Baku has taken up arms against separatists and, although the parties concluded a ceasefire in 1994, they often engage in armed conflict with each other.
