Azerbaijan says soldier killed near disputed Nagorno-Karabakh

BAKU/YEREVAN (Reuters) - Azerbaijan accused forces backed by neighbouring Armenia on Monday of killing an Azeri soldier near the disputed territory of Nagorno-Karabakh, where a war killed about 30,000 people two decades ago.

Foreign governments are wary of any skirmishes in the South Caucasus because of concerns that a new war could erupt, threatening pipelines that carry natural gas and oil to Europe.
