SOVIET UNION
Rumblings in The Republics
</hdr><body>
<p> In Georgia hostilities deepened as renegade national
guardsmen joined civilian efforts to oust Zviad Gamsakhurdia,
the republic's authoritarian president. About 60 rebel guardsmen
were reported killed in a clash with republic troops...The
seizure of power in Tadzhikistan by Rakhman Nabiev, a hard-line
former Communist Party chief, prompted thousands of people to
defy a newly imposed state of emergency. Crying "Communist
coup!," protesters vowed to resist Nabiev's administration...Armenia and Azerbaijan signed an agreement calling for a
cease-fire and negotiations to end their dispute over
Nagorno-Karabakh, the Armenian enclave inside Azerbaijan, but
the fighting continued. Among those who helped broker the
agreement was Boris Yeltsin. The Russian president, who is
suffering from a heart ailment, subsequently announced that he
would take a two-week rest.
