'Find them…cut them into pieces and give them to the dogs for dinner,' one pro-Azeri channel posted with photos of missing Armenians
Tens of thousands of Armenians are attempting to flee the region, which is historically autonomous but internationally recognised as Azeri territory, following athat included the dissolution of local defence forces and “reintegration” into Azerbaijan.
Azeri media showed aid trucks being allowed into the enclave on Friday morning, as Baku promised “amnesty” for enemy fighters who laid down their arms. Azeri President Ilham Aliyev vowed to guarantee the rights of Armenians of the region but said it would become “paradise” as part of Azerbaijan. Armenians and independent experts fear ethnic cleansing of the territory. “At any moment they could destroy us, engage in genocide against us,” said David Babayan, advisor to Samvel Shahramanyan, president of the unrecognised Republic of Artsakh.
Armenia’s Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan said on Wednesday that Azeri actions “were clear and irrefutable evidence of a policy of ethnic cleansing and mass atrocities”.
