Araz News : Armenian forces killed a two-year-old Azerbaijani child and her grandmother in a fresh clash near the Nagorno-Karabakh region at the Azerbaijan-Armenia border.

50-year-old Azerbaijani woman and her granddaughter were killed and another civilian wounded by Armenian forces near the Nagorno-Karabakh region, Azerbaijan’s defense ministry said on Wednesday.

Sporadic exchanges of fire in the fight for control over the region, inside Azerbaijan but controlled by ethnic Armenians, have stoked fears of a wider conflict breaking out in the South Caucasus, which is criss-crossed by oil and gas pipelines.

“Two residents of the village of Alkhanly, including a two-year-old girl, were killed and one was wounded on July 4 as a result of shelling by Armenian forces,” North Azerbaijan defense ministry spokesman Vagif Dergakhly told a news conference.

North Azerbaijan forces had returned fire, he said, inflicting casualties on the other side.

The deaths were “a result of a targeted and deliberate attack on civilians by the armed forces of Armenia” using mortars and heavy grenade launchers, Azerbaijan’s foreign ministry said in a statement.

Nagorno-Karabakh’s separatist leadership said Azerbaijani forces had violated the ceasefire agreement, opened fire first and used anti-tank and other heavy weapons.

It said there were no losses among their servicemen, only among the villagers. It gave no further details.

İt should be noted that many Azerbaijani activists and human right activist  have launched a big campaign to support human right and protest killing children in Azerbaijan by Armenian Separatists.
