Kornidzor, Armenia – Armenia prepared Monday to welcome a new flood of Nagorno-Karabakh refugees while the leaders of Azerbaijan and ally Turkey were set to hold a celebratory summit marking Baku’s victory over the rebel enclave.
Most of the refugees seen by AFP were women and children, including some from Eghtsahogh, where people took shelter around a Russian peacekeeping base after their village allegedly came under Azerbaijani shelling. Turkey supplied Baku with a fleet of combat drones that helped Azerbaijan claw back a chunk of the disputed Nagorno-Karabakh territory in a six-week war three years ago.
Armenia is a member of the Collective Security Treaty Organisation — a Russian-dominated group comprising six post-Soviet states that had pledged to protect each other if attacked. They plan more disruptions over three days starting Monday, some voicing anger at Pashinyan’s pivot away from Moscow.At the Kornidzor crossing, five kilometres from the Hakari bridge on the convoy’s route, angry relatives had gathered to await news. One man was so frustrated he pulled out a knife in front of police.
