In recent days, violence has escalated in the Nagorno-Karabac border region. Armenia accuses Azerbaijan of targeting civilians in the area and several have reportedly been killed.
Clashes between troops from the two countries were reported over the weekend, and Armenia said it had shot down helicopters and drones from Azerbaijan.
Now, the Armenian Defense Ministry claims that a Turkish fighter jet shot down one of Armenia’s planes, writes AFP.
Hundreds of people, including civilians, are reported to have been killed in the fighting.
Turkey has sent troops
On Monday, Turkey, which sided with Azerbaijan, was reported to have sent 4,000 troops from northern Syria to the conflict zone. Azerbaijan, for its part, has called this task “nonsense”.
Armenia and Azerbaijan were parts of the Soviet Union and have long been in conflict over the Nagorno-Karabakh region. Formally, the region is located in Azerbaijan, but the majority population is Armenian.
Through Twitter, the Armenian authorities have shared video images showing how they shot down an Azerbaijani helicopter.
