Azerbaijani fire wounds two foreigners in Armenian Yeraskh- defense ministry

YEREVAN, June 14. /ARKA/. Two foreigners were wounded after Azerbaijani troops opened fire at an Armenian-American steel plant under construction in Yeraskh, a village located on the border with Azerbaijani exclave Nakhichevan, the Armenian Defense Ministry reported.
