As Azerbaijan reclaims Nagorno-Karabakh, the vast majority of Armenians living there will leave, authorities have said. The region's de-facto leadership has said it is unclear when they will be able to flee for Armenia.
Almost all the 120,000 Armenians living in war-torn Nagorno-Karabakh will leave for Armenia, the region's de-facto leadership has said, after Azerbaijan regained control of the breakaway region.Azeri forces reclaimed the territory following a 24-hour offensiveThe US and EU have expressed"deep concerns" for the Armenians in Karabakh, which is recognised internationally as part of Azerbaijan but had been under Armenian control since the fall of the Soviet Union.
"Our people do not want to live as part of Azerbaijan, 99.9% prefer to leave our historic lands," he said."The fate of our poor people will go down in history as a disgrace and a shame for the Armenian people and for the whole civilised world." He said it was unclear when the Armenians would move down the Lachin corridor, which links the territory to Armenia, where Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has faced calls to resign for failing to save Karabakh.
