Azerbaijan shoots down Armenia helicopter at Karabakh

Armenia's defense ministry accused Azerbaijan's armed forces of shooting down a military helicopter belonging to the separatist Nagorno-Karabakh territory on the 12 November 2014. Ethnic Armenians control the enclave in Azerbaijan's border.

The Minsk Group Co-Chairs (representing the Russian Federation, the United States, and France) expressed their very serious concern about the downing of the helicopter near the Line of Contact and other recent violence.
