Deadly clashes erupt between Armenia and Azerbaijan
New clashes between Armenia and Azerbaijan have erupted over the breakaway region of Nagorno-Karabakh. Footage – released by the Armenian military - purports to show an attack on Azerbaijani tanks. Each side has blamed the other for the flaring up of tensions in the region and warns of a threat of a larger war. The two former Soviet states went to war in the early 1990s over Nagorno-Karabakh, which sits in majority Muslim Azerbaijan. However, its ethnic Armenian population of Christians rejected rule from the capital Baku. A ceasefire was agreed to in 1994, though it was never a peace deal. Sunday’s clashes could end up being the most dangerous since the war and could also impact global oil and gas supplies which flow through the region.
