Azerbaijan Accuses Armenians of Attack
- Share via
BAKU, Azerbaijan — The government accused Armenia on Tuesday of pressing on with a hard-hitting assault near the Turkish border.
But Armenia denied that its forces had entered Azerbaijan’s Nakhichevan region.
It said supplies and wounded were moving along a corridor established between Armenia proper and the disputed enclave of Nagorno-Karabakh--a breakthrough made possible by a string of recent victories in the 4-year-old conflict over Karabakh.
More than 1,500 people have died in the four years of fighting in and around the Armenian-majority enclave, run by Azerbaijan for nearly the entire Soviet era.
