Azerbaijan's second-largest city, Ganja, has been shelled by Armenian forces, as heavy clashes continue over the disputed Nagorno-Karabakh region.

The enclave is officially part of Azerbaijan but run by ethnic Armenians.

The self-proclaimed authorities there say they hit Ganja's military airport after Azerbaijani forces shelled the region's capital, Stepanakert.

Azerbaijan says no Ganja military sites were hit. More than 220 people have died since clashes began a week ago.

More than 220 dead; in fairly small population territories, that's quite a lot.

1. Both military and civilian casualties, apparently

Very sad.

2. And, of course, Turkey is supporting Azerbaijan

They just want a redux of the Armenian genocide.

3. The secret genocide

Very poorly covered at the time, very poorly studied after 100 years.
