Armenian army staging drills in Karabakh - reports
YEREVAN – Armenian armed forces launched exercises in Azerbaijan’s occupied Nagorno Karabakh region on Monday, Armenian media reported.
The exercises, which involve the self-proclaimed republic’s power-wielding agencies as well as health institutions, aim to test "combat readiness" of the military. The drills will last until Saturday.
Azerbaijan and Armenia fought a lengthy war that ended with the signing of a fragile cease-fire in 1994. The separatist regime in the Nagorno Karabakh region proclaimed so-called independence in 1991, defying international law. Efforts by international mediators have been largely fruitless so far, and sporadic clashes on the frontline continue.
