Clashes between Armenia and Azerbaijan resume

Thousands have demonstrated in Azerbaijan calling for war after recent deadly clashes with neighbouring Armenia.

Protesters have marched through the capital Baku demanding the government fully deploy the army, with some even entering the national parliament.

Security forces responded with water cannon and tear gas to disperse the crowds.

According to news the recent border fighting has killed at least 16 people.

Armenia and Azerbaijan have been in a deadlock around the unresolved conflict over a piece of disputed territory called Nagorno-Karabakh, internationally recognised as part of Azerbaijan but controlled by ethnic Armenians.

On Thursday Armenian ministry of defense spokeswoman Shushan Stepanyan has shared an update on the situation at the Armenia-Azerbaijan border.

"The Armenian units destroyed an enemy tank and artillery and mortar positions that were shelling our settlements and positions," she noted.
