Azerbaijani troops killed an Armenian soldier on Friday during clashes taking place on the border between the two Caucasus countries. The two former Soviet republics fought two wars, one in the early 1990s and another in 2020, over control of this mountainous area.
The clashes come just hours before Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan meets Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev in Brussels on Sunday. The talks were hosted by the European Union and are scheduled to take place this weekend.
