BAKU, March 30 2006 — Azerbaijan accused Armenia Thursday of breaking
a ceasefire and responsibility for the death of one of its soldiers
on their common border.

“An Azeri soldier was killed during the habitual violations of the
ceasefire by the Armenian side,” the defence ministry said in Baku.

“Azerbaijan’s positions in the Tovuz region were targeted by Armenian
military units from the Berd area,” it said.

The two neighbours, which fought a war in the early 1990s over
Azerbaijan’s Armenian-populated enclave of Nagorno-Karabakh, regularly
charge each other with ceasefire violations.

Azerbaijan accused Armenia on March 7 of causing the death of an
Azeri soldier in the Karabakh region. Armenia quickly denied the
charge and responded with counter-accusations that Azeri troops had
killed an Armenian soldier the previous week.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
