Two Azerbaijani soldiers were killed and another one was wounded
on 18 March while repulsing an Armenian attack in Tartar District,
270 km west of the capital Baku, commercial ANS TV has reported.

Soldiers Huseyn Bandaliyev and Elcin Bayramov, both 19-year-old,
were killed by Armenian fire while defending Azerbaijani positions
in Tartar’s Torpaqtapa area.

“The Armenian attempt to take control of the area was foiled. They
were forced to retreat after sustaining heavier casualties,” ANS said.

President Ilham Aliyev had awarded one of the killed soldiers,
Bayramov, a wristwatch during his visit to front-line districts
earlier this month, the report said.
