proud to tell your stories. this is al jazeera. welcome. you're watching the news hour. i'm peter dobbie here in al jazeera. coming up in the next 60 minutes. fighting continues in the azerbaijan and armenia in relation to the nagorno-karabakh region. a boat load of refugees and migrants are rescued off the island of lesbos. we will take you to senegal where some syrian refugees have found a safe place to live.

the 40th paris marathon is well underway amid tight security. we will be live along the route. we begin with the fighting between azerbaijan and armenia. the armenian defense ministry says there have been more attacks on sunday morning. dozens of people were killed on saturday which was the worst day of fighting in more than 20 years. azerbaijan says 12 of its soldiers were killed and armenia reported at least 18 dead. both say there have been civilian casualties as well. u.s. and russia calling for calm. the region of nagorno-karabakh is marked on yellow. right in the middle you can see it. it's in the middle of a dispute.

armenian, the area was ruled by azerbaijan during the time of the soviet union, but it has been crawled by local armeniaans after a six year war killed an estimated 30,000 people. the shaded area that we've just introduced there, that limpings nagorno-karabakh with armenia. that is the so-called buffer zone. it is controlled by armenia, but it is claimed by azerbaijan. the armenian government is accusing azerbaijan of violating the ceasefire. our correspondent now reports. >> reporter: armenian forces report that there have been more attacks by azerbaijan military. both sides are accusing each other of firing shots on saturday. they blame each other for violating a ceasefire that ended a six year war. >> it is was in violation of the ceasefire regime, the

international law, international mument law and the gen eve-- humanitarian law and geneva convention for what is done in the zone of nagorno-karabakh conflict >> reporter: it started with a decision in 1922. stalin placed the mountain enclave inside the newly created azerbaijan soef yeft socialist republic. they lived in peace for nearly a century. in the late 1980s when the u.s. sr was breaking up, they held a national referendum for independence from azerbaijan and for self rule. azerbaijan said the region did not have the legal right to do so and send its military to retake the area.

thousands of muslims from the area were forced to flee. after years of fighting and more than 30,000 deaths, the region, armenia an azerbaijan reached a trowse in 1994. the republic is not recognised by the u.n. analysts believe the skirmishes could lead to war >> people believe at present wouldn't stay confined to those countries. there say big possibility of turkish intervention and also russian intervention if the fighting becomes an all-out war >> reporter: the groups have been trying to negotiate a peace deal for years now. the ambassadors are set to meet again on tuesday in vienna. even though the empire has long discovered, decisions it's leaders made are still cause to take up arms against each other.

? breaking-- some breaking news for you. azerbaijan is saying it is ceasing fire in that separatist region of nagorno-karabakh. we will get more for you on that. russia has been calling on both sides for an immediate ceasefire. the russia president has pledged its support to azerbaijan. both parties are rival parties in the caucus region. in 1994 moscow brokered a ceasefire between the two former soviet republic to end a six year war. there have been a number of violations since then. russia has a significant military presence with two bases in armenia which is the major strategic partner in the region. it is a big supplier of arms to both countries, but sells more weapons to azerbaijan. turkey, on the other hand, has been backing azerbaijan which is

ethnically turkic. turkey has had a blockade since the issue between more than 30 years ago. just put this in context for us, azerbaijan saying they will go on ceasefire. there have been ceasefire since 1994. it is largely held but there have been sporadic spikes of violence. why should this be any different? >> as you just pointed out, this is a conflict that has been simmering for many decades. it has the potential to spiral into quite a series region-- serious regional conflict because of the tensions that existed between russia and turkey and the differing sides that they're backing over this kind of regional dispute. at the moment it does seem like the triggers, the flash point

for this surge in fighting are local, but it's quite murky and we don't have the full information yet about exactly what has been going on. both sides accusing the other side of broking-- breaking this ceasefire. the azerbaijaneris are saying that the responsibility likely with armenians. they say that they have inflicted serious fatalities on the armenian military and there have been responses that that's not true. it's very difficult to work out what is going on at the moment, but because there is so much weaponry in this area and because both russia and turkey are taking what seem to be differing sides over this, it does have a dangerous potential

what's your reading of how the kremlin or mr putin will react to this. >> he has reacted already in the last 24 hours or so. the kremlin basically put out a statement saying that all the warring sides here should immediately stop. it's interesting that both of the leaders of armenia and azerbaijan have been in washington recently. they have been meeting with the state secretary, john kerry, and john kerry urged them to resolve this conflict, to put it to bed, to stop it forever because it has been dragging on for so long. quite what that meant for this particular flare-up is difficult to say at the moment. is it significant? we don't know. it's just we have to wait and see exactly what happens with this proposed cessation of

hostilities that the azeris say that that they will engage in. will it stick? they will only persevere with it if the other side does so as well. the fighting is still going on in the region on sunday thanks very much. let's talk now on the news hour to a member of the armenia opposition party. the azeris are officially on ceasefire. they've either achieved what they wanted to or someone said to them you've got to pull the plug on what you're doing. do you think it will hold. >> i think that there is a very clear understanding what the azerbaijani side is doing.

that side learned its own lessons from the ukraine, from wars and from syria. as they stated many times, conflicts may be a result to military means. they are not with the side that are dealing with conflict settlement as need yaltor, and-- mediator, and throughout the last years azerbaijani side did its best to weaken the positions of that organization in managing the conflict in its efforts to find a solution with both sides. since 2012 this-- this body

doesn't function effectively. it was tried to have presidential summits during last years. in some cases they succeeded, but recently-- i'm going to interrupt you because i want to get to one other talk. when you talk about lessons being learnt, critics of both players in this conflict might say the same thing. there is another lesson to be learnt and it's the way that the leaders of the respective communities have used this conflict consciously to keep themselves in power as opposed to doing what they arguably should have done which was make sure that the template of peace that was put in place in 1994 held and held very successfully. >> right. this is true. conflicts became very important, strategic assets for russia to demonstrate itself as a global actor, especially after ukrainian war, after which

russia was sanctioned. so i think from eastern europe to middle east, to syria, and now in the caucuses, russia tries to show that it is kremlin who is playing dominant role. it is not accidental that azerbaijani leadership was trying to improve not only its relations with moscow, but to please kremlin as well with its anti-western positioning. by the way, russia, along with turkey, were very interested in weakening of the positions of the group and russia is interested in limited escalation in the region after which it appears is a mediator. we faced this situation in 2014,

when armenia being applicant was attacked by azerbaijani side across the armenian border even and putin played a role of mediator inviting the presidents i'm going to have to interrupt you for which i apologise. thank you for joining us here on the news hour. the greek coast guard has rescued a boat load of refugees off the coast of lesbos. greece is struggling to cope with the number of refugees arriving in the country as they try to make their way to western europe. residents of the greek town idomeni are becoming angry over the presence of the refugee camps. they want the camp cleared saying their businesses are

being badly affected. our correspondent now reports. >> reporter: attitudes are changing, capacity has given way to anger. at first there was solidarity with the thousands of refugees and migrants, but now the people are telling the government in athens that livelihoods are at risk. some are furious. they say their quiet town no longer belongs to them. >> translation: when they came here we embraced them and gave them things, but now our lives aunbearable. we are scared to allow our children to play in the streets. no-one explains to us why they are staying here. >> reporter: the refugees and migrants have been living in the fields close to the border for weeks. farmers have lost their income. they can't plough their land. they hope that the protest

action will pressure the e.u. to open the borders but it is adding more pressure on this country's already fragile economy >> translation: we are forced to rerout our trains and this means extra cost. we are paying 25% more and it takes longer to deliver the goods >> reporter: the police have tried to move people from the tracks. they have failed because people resisted and authorities have repeatedly said that they have no intention of evacuee vating them by force. this used to be a transit camp. it is home to more than 12,000 people. a few hundred have agreed to move to centers prepared by the greek authorities. the majority of the people here are reluctant. european activists in the camp are blaming the e.u. for what they say is a lack of transparency. they have set up this information center to explain to those trapped in greece their official options, even as they argue that the system is not functioning. >> our message is let all the

people in. there is no full europe. it doesn't exist. listen to the people here on the ground that are stuck, that are not treated according to human rights. their life is put on hold. a procedure is set in place for people to exercise greek asylum, that system doesn't work at all. >> reporter: the people of idomeni say too they're under impossible strain. they temporarily blocked the highway to idomeni hoping that the authorities will act. once they left, refugees and migrants who continue to believe the border will open, make their way along a road that is going to nowhere there are growing concerns about the number of refugees in western turkey. about 300 people demonstrated against the setting up of registration desks and the building of camps in kili. people have been sent back to turkey under a deal between e.u. and ankara. irs first of all, we don't know

who these people are. there are not only syrians in that group, there are members from the p.k.k., even people from zimbabwe. nobody knows who they are. how can i be sure they're not terrorists. >> translation: we feel sorry for the migrants, but we all know these policies are wrong. there is no need to say more the mayor of kili are worried about what the effect of the refugees will have on the town. >> translation: the infrastructure here is not suitable for this. nobody asked the people here before making a decision. first of all, there are concerns about security and where the people, especially the children, would live and where they would be educated. when you look at the latest data released by the world health organisation, they will be under threat in these areas thousands of syrians trying to get away from the war have ended up in lebanon, jordan and

turkey. as record numbers are trying to go into europe, some are going further away from their homes seeking a better life. >> reporter: it is a lonely life. so far away from home, selling perfumes at a market stall here. this man lived on the outskirts of damascus, but fighting, the senseless violence and the smell of death was too much to bear. nearly three years ago with no end in sight, he left it all for a better life here in senegal. >> translation: i am not a refugee. i have my job here. the moment i feel my country is fine, i will definitely go pack. i hope all syrians can return to their country. >> reporter: in this great exodus in which five million syrians are fleeing their homes to wherever they can find sanctuary, he considers himself one of the lucky ones. he has made it out alive and

found an accident enough place to work and live. here he says he is free, not like those who chose to go to europe. >> translation: europe to me decide big prison. you can't move freely. every move needs permission from government. they have restrictions also in europe. life is tough for them. >> reporter: you might think west africa is not an obvious designation, but hundreds of people have registered as refugees here. many of them are reportedly hoping to cross the sahara and then the mediterranean to reach europe using the well-known trafficking routes. then they want to make this area home. people from the middle east have settled here for generations.

there has long been a syrian community here as well as lebanese. like this man born in senegal to syrian parents, he sells curtains made in aleppo >> translation: we're not going to let the war stop us. our supplier has moved to turkey and we continue our work as best as we can. trade is the lifeline of our people. >> reporter: life in syria is a swipe away. not good news. pictures of his home or what is left of it. this feeling of loss is only broken by the arrival of a new customer, a chance to forget the war for just a moment and phonings on life here in senegal. nicholas hawk the front runner for the republican nomination to become the next american president has

reiterated his stance on syrian refugees. during a campaign tuna hall meeting donald trump - town hall meeting donald trump said he will sends them back it syria >> we have people coming from syria on migration, thousands of people. we have no idea who they are, where they come from, there's no documentation. we have to be crazy. no, i will tell you, they're going home. if i become president, we have to. we have to. we have no choice. where are these people coming from? where are our leaders coming from? what are they doing an opposition group in syria says it's taking control of two areas around aleppo. al-nusra front says it has killed 50 government soldiers during the offensive in the southern aleppo countryside. aleppo is close to the border with turkey and is strategically important in targeting supply

said there were police along the route. speaking to a competitor, he said the police were being discrete, they were keeping their distance. quite clearly, people here want this event to be safe. the organisers want it to be safe. given what happened in paris a few months ago, given what happened in brufls just a few weeks ago and, of course, what happened in boston back in 2013 perfect spring weather to run 40-odd kilometers. if one was to talk to a lot of runners, one would remember the scenes at the boston marathon which went a completely different way. that was a terrible incident if you're interested in your jogging or running or your personal security. if you stopped them, they've got to be seen to be doing this because we're not going to be giving in no that spectre of fear. >> reporter:-- in to that spectre of fear >> reporter: yes. that is the them. when we spoke to people at the start of the race before they were lining up to take part, one
