Border Clashes Between Armenia and Azerbaijan Jeopardize Peace Talks

Armenia has reported renewed border clashes with Azerbaijan, with two Armenian forces wounded after Baku used drones in the direction of Sotk. The clashes come a day after deadly fighting threatened to derail European Union-led weekend peace talks between the two countries. The decades-long territorial dispute over Azerbaijan's Armenian-populated region of Nagorno-Karabakh has led to two wars and tens of thousands of deaths. The West has stepped up mediation as Russia's clout wanes, with Armenia growing increasingly frustrated with Moscow's peacekeeping role.
