Armenian soldier Nver Babajanyan was killed in Nagorno-Karabakh as a result of retaliatory fire by the Azerbaijani army.

Axar.az reports that, Babajanyan, 37 died of shrapnel wound following the ceasefire violation by the Armenian armed forces on the contact line of troops.

The Nagorno-Karabakh conflict entered its modern phase when the Armenian SRR made territorial claims against the Azerbaijani SSR in 1988.

A fierce war broke out between Azerbaijan and Armenia over the Nagorno-Karabakh region of Azerbaijan. As a result of the war, Armenian armed forces occupied some 20 percent of Azerbaijani territory which includes Nagorno-Karabakh and seven adjacent districts (Lachin, Kalbajar, Aghdam, Fuzuli, Jabrayil, Gubadli and Zangilan), and over a million Azerbaijanis became refugees and internally displaced people.
