Armenian, Azerbaijani Forces Continue to Clash

VOA News

   Armenian and Azerbaijani forces clashed for a fourth consecutive day
   Wednesday over the breakaway region of Nagorno-Karabakh, in an ongoing
   conflict that is threatening to erupt into all-out war.

   Azerbaijan's Defense Ministry accused Armenian forces of shelling the
   Azerbaijani town of Tartar, while Armenian military officials said
   Azerbaijani forces bombed northern parts of the breakaway region where
   the Nagorno-Karabakh army was positioned.

   Dozens of people have been killed and hundreds of others injured since
   intense fighting broke out Sunday between ethnic Armenian and Azeri
   forces. The violence has since spread to areas outside the enclave's
   borders, threatening to escalate into war.
