Ethnic Armenians, mostly Christians, in Nagorno-Karabakh need security guarantees before giving up their weapons, an adviser to their leader said on Thursday, a day after Azerbaijan, dominated by Muslims, declared it had brought the breakaway region back under its control.

Karabakh Armenian authorities accused Azerbaijan of violating ceasefire agreed on Wednesday after a Azerbaijani offensive forced separatists to surrender and agree to disarm. Baku’s defence ministry rubbished the allegation regardig ceasefire violation. “We have an agreement on the cessation of military action but we await a final agreement. Talks are going on,” David Babayan, adviser to Nagorno-Karabakh’s ethnic Armenian leader Samvel Shahramanyan, said. — Reuters

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
