The upcoming meeting of the Armenian and Azerbaijani presidents in Russia has been marred by a breach of ceasefire on the line of contact between the Azerbaijani and Karabakhi armed forces that has left one soldier killed.
According to a release by the Defense Ministry of the Artsakh Republic (Nagorno Karabakh), Harut Ashot Grigoryan, 20, a temporary military soldier, was killed by Azerbaijani armed forces at 4:45 p.m. on October 26.
It comes just a day before the October 27 meeting between Serzh Sargsyan and Ilham Aliyev in Astrakhan, Russia, initiated by their Russian counterpart Dmitry Medvedev.
Interestingly, such incidents on the line of contact become more frequent especially before and after any important meeting between the top officials of the two countries.
