UPDATE: AZERBAIJAN FIGHTING FLARES IN NAGORNY-KARABAKH DESPITE TRUCE AGREEMENT 

MOSCOW (SEPT. 1) DPA - Fighting flared between Armenian and Azerbaijani forces
in the disputed enclave of Nagorny-Karabakh Tuesday despite a ceasefire
agremeent which was supposed to take effect from midnight Monday. 

The Azerbaijani Defence Ministry said Armenian forces opened fire at the towns
of Fisuli and Jebrail, both on Azerbaijani territory. 

Kazakhstan was behind the latest attempt to halt fighting between the two sides
in Nagorny-Karabakh, a mainly Armenian populated enclave inside Azerbaijan. 

Azerbaijan attacked Stepanakert, capital of Nagorny-Karabakh, Monday only a few
hours before the truce was due to take effect. 

Armenian forces said they shot down two Azeri fighter jets over the city during
the attack.

CUSTOMS AGENTS FLEE BANGLADESHI BORDER POST WHEN SNAKE CHARMER DUMPS COBRAS 

DHAKA (SEP. 1) DPA - Customs officials abandoned their post in fear at a border
station in western Bangladesh after a snake charmer dumped a box of cobras on
their table and demanded that the deadly reptiles be allowed into the country,
the Bengali daily Ittefaq reported Tuesday. 

The newspaper said the snakes leapt out of the box, spreading panic after an
official opened the lid. The cobras were caught in India and were being brought
into Bangladesh through Sadipur border station near the western garrison town
of Jessore on Monday. 

Customs officials refused to return to duty until all the snakes were caught
and put back into the box.

FAILURE SEEN IN NEPAL'S EFFORTS TO STEM BHUTANESE REFUGEE FLOOD 

KATHMANDU (SEPT. 1) DPA - Nepal's bilateral diplomatic efforts to solve the
Bhutanese refugee problem have failed, Nepalese newspapers said Tuesday. 

Bhutanese from southern Bhutan, mostly Nepali-speaking, have been pouring into
Nepal since February 1991 to escape what they say was ''the brutal suppression
of the pro-democracy movement''. 

The present number of Bhutanese refugees in camps in eastern Nepal near the
border with Bhutan is put at over 65,000. 

According to Nepalese newspapers, more than 1,000 refugees have died in the
camps in the past 18 months due to malnutrition, gastro-enteritis and other
diseases and poor medical facilities. 

The newspapers said the latest Nepalese initiative under which the Nepalese
foreign secretary, Nagendra Bikram Shah, was sent early last week to Bhutan was
a total ''fiasco''. 

Press <RETURN> or <S>croll?

The foreign secretary, according to the newspapers, returned empty handed from
Thimpu except for a promise that Bhutanese Foreign Minister Lyongo Dawa Tsering
would come to Kathmandu for talks ''soon''. 

Bhutan has said in the past that the refugees streaming into Nepal were
''illegal immigrants'' and now says they are not Bhutanese at all and are
''probably coming in from India''. 

Bhutan has rejected Nepal's offer of verifying the refugees through neutral
agencies like the United Nations to determine whether they are Bhutanese. 

Nepal is now pinning high hopes on Nepalese Prime Minister Girija Prasad
Koirala's proposed talks on the refugee problem with Indian Prime Minister
Narasimha Rao in Jakarta at the non-aligned summit.

DISADVANTAGED YOUTH OF FRANCE PLAN TUNISIAN BIKE RIDE 

MANTES-LA-JOLIE (SEPT. 1) IPS - A year after clashes between youths and police
claimed three lives in this industrial center 27 miles west of Paris, a group
of 11 young people has started working to change the image of their communities
and themselves. 

All are residents of the "cities", as the French call them -- state-subsidized
high rise blocks, crowded with French and immigrant families. 

They have grown up with that stigma and are now determined to show themselves
and others that they are capable of organizing an ambitious project -- a 20-day
bicycle ride across Tunisia, beginning on Sept. 6. 

The group is made up of 11 people, 10 men and one woman, and half of them are
of North African descent. 

"We are doing this to show we are responsible," said David Robert, one of the
organizers who works as a sports instructor for the private foundation
Tamerantong. "The project is, above all, for the youth, to show they are
Press <RETURN> or <S>croll?

capable of doing something." 

Kadour Boudali is 22 and has Algerian parents. He said he was looking forward
to showing his French friends the hospitality of the region at the farms where
they have arranged to stay during their 420 mile trip. 

Although born in France, Boudali feels half French and half North African. "But
this is not Los Angeles," he said. "There is solidarity among young people of
the many ethnic groups here in the cities." 

The group has raised some 130,000 francs ($26,000) for the bicycles, support
van, equipment, food and other costs by applying for subsidies from two
government programs and contributing $400 each themselves. 

So far only five of the bikes have arrived, so most of the expedition members
have been training by running or doing other sports. 

All those making the trip want to become sports instructors and work with youth
in their communities. Most left school at 16 with few marketable skills and
less luck at finding work. 

They also have in common the traumas of last year, when riots in May over
conditions in the cities lead to the death of an 18-year-old in police custody.

In June, a policewoman was run over while trying to stop youths who were
joy-riding in five stolen cars. One young man was shot to death by another
officer. More clashes followed. 

Mantes-la-Jolie became a symbol of rebellion in the poor areas of the major
cities where immigrants from North Africa live among impoverished French
citizens. 

For the 11 going to Tunisia, the riots were more immediate. The dead were
friends. 

The French government has spent millions of francs on housing, youth programs,
education and other projects for disadvantaged areas, with Mantes-la-Jolie a
major target. 

Yet the program has been criticized, not only by the conservatives who object
to the cost and the right-wing anti-immigration factor. There are others who
say some programs gain media attention without going to the heart of the
problems. 

"If there was less unemployment, there would be less conflict," said expedition
member Herve Clerin who is 23 and has had nothing but part time or temporary
jobs since he left school seven years ago. Unemployment is about 10 percent in
France. 

Stephane Henry, also an expedition member, says the education system creates
problems for youth by holding them back a year if they have problems in any
subject and by limiting their exposure to sports and the arts. He spent this
summer working with a theatre program for six to 14-year-olds from his
community. 

Henry, Clerin and other expedition members said one of the worst problems in
the area is being misunderstood. There is, in broad terms, a lack of
communication between youth and police, officials, journalists and adults in
general. 

"They reproach us for speaking aggressively and vulgarly. Paradoxically they
only listen to us when we are vulgar, when we threaten them," said Robert. "We
just want to be recognized by society." 

Robert said he believes a small project such as this will have a more profound
impact on the community than some of the broad governmental programs. 

The group will not consider their expedition is over until all the participants
have trained as sports instructors, found jobs and launched projects of their
own. 

"It is not that sport is a miracle," he said. "Sport is a way to show that we
are capable."

IRANIAN AIRLINE LEASED RUSSIAN PLANES TO TRANSPORT PASSENGERS 

(AUGUST 31) MIDDLE EAST NEWS NETWORK - The Iranian National Airlines, HOMA,
through one of its satellite companies, called Iran Tour, in the past month has
transported more than 110,000 passengers between Mashhad and various cities in
Iran. All the existing airplanes at the disposal of this company - said to be
five - are rental (tupulf) models. These airplanes were recently leased from
Russia, and the above-mentioned company intends to lease five more airplanes
from Moscow by the end of the year. The home of the Iran Tour company, whose
establishment was announced unexpectedly for the first time by Hasan Shafti,
the general manager of HOMA, is Mashhad. According to Shafti, this company will
make use of leased airplanes in the future and take charge of a major part of
the passenger transportation between Mashhad and other cities. 

The general manager of the National Iranian Airlines, without announcing the
legal status of the Iran Tour company and where it derives its capital, told
reporters that this year between three and five Iran Air planes will gradually
be removed from the HOMA fleet due to attrition. He projected that with the
removal of these airplanes form the National Iranian Airline fleet, the
problems of this company will be increased. Hasan Shafti said in his interview:
Press <RETURN> or <S>croll?

''Two airbuses for which the purchase agreement has been signed this year, will
enter the HOMA fleet by the end of next year (1372) (20 Mar 1994).'' 

The above-mentioned official said in regard to ''obtaining Iran Air tickets'':
The reason for the long wait for airline tickets is the lack of growth of the
flight fleet to deal with the population increase.

IRANIAN OIL MINISTRY LAUNCHES NEW PRODUCTION PLAN 

TEHRAN (SEPT. 1) MIDDLE EAST NEWS NETWORK - The Oil Ministry has launched four
major plans code-named Val-Fajr to increase petroleum production and make
better use of petroleum and its derivatives in oil rich regions in southern
Iran, an Oil Ministry official told IRNA Monday. Upon a proposal of the Oil
Ministry, a plan was initiated in 1990 to boost Iran's oil output to four
million BPD (barrels per day). This is while the initial targets were three
million BPD by 1994 and 3.6 million BPD by 1999, said Mohammad Aqa'i, manager
of southern regions department at the Oil Ministry. 

The official said that with the approval of the necessary budgets by the Majles
(Islamic Consultative Assembly), the Oil Ministry began to implement the four
plans. The first plan, he said, was to increase drilling operations including
the drilling of new wells and repair and maintenance of existing wells. The
second plan was to raise production ceiling by establishing new exploitation
facilities. Some 870 projects are being implemented to increase the number of
oil fields to 47 as predicted by the first development plan. 

The third project now being implemented by the Oil Ministry is for over 6.3
Press <RETURN> or <S>croll?

billion cubic feet of gas to go into oil rich regions that need gas injection
by the end of the plan. 

And the fourth plan, is processing of natural gas to produce liquified gas and
to implement other gas projects. By 1995, some 120,000 barrels of liquified gas
are to be delivered to the petrochemical complex at the Imam Khomeyni port city
in southern Iran.
