FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Azerbaijan’s Defense Ministry said in a statement that Jafar Jafarov, a Senior Lieutenant of the Azerbaijani army was killed by an Armenian sniper near Alibeyli village of Azerbaijan’s Tovuz district on Friday, AFP reported.
Azerbaijan and Armenia have long been at loggerheads over control of Nagorno- Karabakh.
Some 30,000 people lost their lives and hundreds of thousands of people were displaced in both countries in a war between the neighbors in the 1990s, which saw Armenia-backed separatists take the mountainous territory.
Years of negotiations since the 1994 ceasefire has failed yield a final peace deal, with frequent exchanges of gunfire reported along the frontline.
Azerbaijan has threatened to use force to take back Karabakh if peace talks fail to yield satisfactory results, but Armenia has warned of large-scale retaliation against any military action.
