Fifteen die in clashes over disputed Nagorno-Karabakh

The worst clashes in years over the disputed Armenian enclave of Nagorno-Karabakh in Azerbaijan have left 15 soldiers dead in recent days.

Azerbaijan says 12 of its troops were killed in the past four days while the enclave's ethnic Armenian authorities say three of their soldiers died.

Armenia says the presidents of the two countries are to meet next week to try to calm the situation.

A ceasefire was agreed 20 years ago after 30,000 deaths over six years.
