Hostilities between Armenia and Azerbaijan have reportedly flared up overnight, with reports of gun and mortar fire coming from the border.

Both Azeri and Armenian defense ministries accused each other of provoking the escalation. Azerbaijan said Armenian troops opened fire 127 times over 24 hours along the border. They are using mortars and heavy machine guns, the statement released on Saturday said.

Armenia said Azeri troops went on the offensive overnight and are using tanks artillery and military aircraft.

Militias in the unrecognized Karabakh republic, the focal point of the conflict, claimed they shot down an Azeri helicopter gunboat. Azerbaijan has denied those reports

The Russian foreign ministry said it was studying reports of the escalation, but would not provide any details

Fragmented Twitter reports so far, saying the Azeri's launched heavy offensive in along the cease-fire line. The Wash Post is reporting "Heavy fighting", but not much else.

I'm sure it is just coincidence that The President of Azerbaijan met with John Kerry in DC just TWO DAYS AGO.

Assyrians, Armenians & Georgians are involved in organized crime and government New World Order as much as the Muzzies.

In fact Putin got a Muzzie Republican to help fight Georgia when Saskavali ran that false flag op in 2008.

In certain areas, such as the ghetto-like suburbs of Hovsjö and Ronna, Assyrians are the all but dominant ethnic group. In those areas, clans with their own “courts” rule (Swedish). Lennart Gabrielsson (Folkpartiet) comments on the incident prior to the machine-gun shooting: “When the police were interrogating among others the attacked girls, two boys aged 14-15 came by. Even though the police were there they kicked at the girl. They don’t have the slightest respect for the police — that is bad,” he says in an upset tone.

Mafia-like criminal networks, many of the members of which are Assyrians, threaten policemen, officials, and small businesses (Swedish). In classic mafia style, restaurants are offered “protection”. Professional criminals work at the entrance, which enables them control how much money comes in and to take what share they want. An alcohol inspector got a bomb put on the outside of his car. Threats are regularly issued against policemen — “your house will be burnt down, we know where you live”, etc.

While we’re at it, have there been any Serbians throwing bombs at any Archdukes and their wives?

Azeris have some relation to Turks, which is why Turkey supports them against Armenia. Russia has historically maintained relations with their fellow Christian Armenians; this was the rationale for the Armenian genocide.
