Thousands of ethnic Armenians flee the breakaway region of Nagorno-Karabakh after their fighters were defeated in a lightning military operation by Azerbaijan last week
Moscow and Washington have accused each other of destabilizing the South Caucasus region, as thousands of ethnic Armenians fled their homes in Nagorno-Karabakh over fears of ethnic cleansing.
“I do think that Russia has shown that it is not a security partner that can be relied on,” Matthew Miller, the spokesman, had told reporters. Reuters was able to pinpoint the location of the landscape, buildings and structures seen on satellite images of the fire as the region of Berkadzor, about 6 km outside Stepanakert, but was not able to verify the timing.
On Monday, senior US officials arrived in Armenia, making the first such visit since the Karabakh Armenians were forced into a ceasefire last week.
