Fighting Breaks Out in Contested Region of Azerbaijan

HeadlineApr 04, 2016

In Azerbaijan, dozens of people have been killed after fighting broke out in the disputed Nagorno-Karabakh region on Saturday. Nagorno-Karabakh lies inside Azerbaijan but is controlled by ethnic Armenians. It was the site of a bloody conflict in the wake of the collapse of the Soviet Union. The fighting, which reportedly included civilian casualties on both sides, threatens the region’s ceasefire, which has been in place since 1994.
