Deutche Welle: Azerbaijan has in recent years increased military expenditures prompting concern 
of instability in region

YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 25, ARMENPRESS. Energy-rich Azerbaijan has in recent years increased military expenditures, prompting concern of instability in an already volatile and strategic region.

Three women were killed and several people wounded in what the Armenian Interior Ministry said on Friday was Azeri shelling and gunfire from across the border the previous night. “Armepress” reports that German Deutche Welle writes about Azerbaijani ceasefire violation which 3 Armenian women were killed. 

Deutche Welle noted that the incidents took place on the eve of the agreed meeting of the Armenian and Azerbaijani Foreign Ministers in New York.

As Deutche Welle reports the Armenian Defense Ministry condemned the attack as an act of provocation and urged Azerbaijan "to refrain from any steps which are aimed at escalation of the situation." It added that the country would take "appropriate steps to pacify Azerbaijani armed forces."

 “The deaths are the latest in a two-decade-long conflict between the former Soviet Republics that has claimed nearly 30,000 lives. The two sides have periodically clashed since a ceasefire went into effect in 1994, when ethnic Armenians in Azerbaijan's Nagorno-Karabakh region separated from Baku,” says Deutche Welle.

Deutche Welle also cited OSCE Minsk Group statement urging the two sides to avoid civilian casualties.
