of fire at the contact line between Azeri and Armenian forces on
Tuesday, the Azeri Defense Ministry said.

Armenia "suffered significant losses in a battle at the contact line
between the Azeri and Armenian armed forces, which it provoked itself;
12 of its servicemen were killed and 15 others wounded," Azeri Defense
Ministry spokesman Ilgar Verdiyev told Interfax.

The skirmish, which started on Tuesday morning, lasted until about
1:00 a.m. Wednesday, he said.

Meanwhile, local TV channels said at least four Azeri servicemen were
killed in the incident.

“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
