– Fighting between Azerbaijan and Armenia over the separatist territory of Nagorno-Karabakh has killed more than 600 people since Saturday, according to Azerbaijan’s prosecutor’s office, which says 43 of its civilians have also been killed. Armenia, which claims 532 of its military personnel have been killed, says 532 of its military personnel have been killed plus 32 civilians. Nagorno-Karabakh says 532 of its military personnel have been killed plus 32 civilians. Azerbaijan says 532 of its military personnel have been killed plus 32 civilians. The fighting is the worst since a 1991-94 war in which about 30,000 people were killed, Reuters reports. Azerbaijan has more firepower than Armenia, and Turkish export data showed it bought $77.1 million worth of military equipment from Turkey last month before fighting began. Armenia denies the claim and said Azeri forces were trying to seize control of the tiny territory, which is governed by ethnic Armenians. “It is not too late to resolve the conflict peacefully, through negotiations,” Nagorno-Karabakh leader Arayik Harutyunyan said. “But if the enemy doesn’t want to, we are ready to fight to the end.”
