- <p>Armenians and Azeris go to war again, drawing international
- ire
- </p>
- <p> The five-year undeclared war between the former Soviet
- republics of Armenia and Azerbaijan over the disputed territory
- of Nagorno-Karabakh is suddenly a lot worse. Armenia has
- swallowed one-tenth of Azerbaijan, including the regional center
- of Kelbajar, trapping thousands of civilians in desperate
- conditions. The U.S. condemned the Armenian attack. The U.N.
- Security Council demanded that Armenia withdraw from Kelbajar
- and reaffirmed the sovereignty of the besieged Azeri state. As
- heavy fighting continued over the weekend, Armenia welcomed an
- offer by Russian President Boris Yeltsin to mediate an end to
- the war--something he and Kazakhstan's leader, Nursultan
- Nazarbayev, attempted unsuccessfully in 1991.
