Fighting in Disputed Nagorno-Karabakh Region Escalates, Killing at Least One
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Azerbaijan, Armenian and Azeri forces exchanged heavy fire throughout
the weekend as the war over the disputed region of Nagorno-Karabakh
spilled into civilian areas. On Sunday, at least one resident of
Azerbaijan's second-largest city, Ganja, was killed, and four others
injured, amid heavy rocket and mortar fire. The fighting has threatened
to bring regional powers into conflict, with Turkey backing Azeri forces
and Russia backing its military ally Armenia.
