Kremlin calls on its reserves for help in ethnic strife
The Kremlin boosted units to wartime strength and called up reservists amid Armenian Azerbaijani clashes that left at least 66 dead and over 200 wounded. Armenians fled in tens of thousands as Soviet troops enforced a state of emergency in the troubled region near Baku. General Yazov said troops would be brought up to wartime strength, but he gave no figures or origins of the reinforcements. President Gorbachev spoke publicly for the first time on the civil strife that pits mainly Christians Armenians against Muslim Azerbaijanis. The Kremlin recently deployed more than 11,000 troops into the area to stabilize the situation.
