Two Armenian Soldiers Killed Amid Stalled Peace Talks

The first fatal incident since negotiations began last year to end the decades-long conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan.

Two Armenian soldiers were killed by Azerbaijani fire along the heavily militarized border, marking the first fatal incident since peace talks commenced.
Azerbaijan claims the attack was a 'revenge operation' in response to an alleged provocation by Armenian forces the previous day.
Armenia denies any provocation, as tensions rise amidst stalled negotiations to end over 30 years of intermittent war.
The incident occurs as peace talks to formally end the conflict have stagnated, with both sides accusing each other of sabotaging the process.
Azerbaijan reclaimed the disputed Nagorno-Karabakh region in a lightning offensive in September, leading to a mass exodus of Armenian inhabitants.
