YEREVAN (Reuters) – The leader of the ethnic-Armenian controlled enclave of Nagorno-Karabakh accused Azeri forces on Wednesday of capturing several dozen of its troops despite a ceasefire deal that ended six-weeks of fighting over the region.
The region’s defence ministry said earlier it had lost contact with several military positions on Tuesday and it had carried out search operations throughout the night, but failed to find them.
