FEARS for the safety of Nagorno-Karabakh’s ethnic Armenians grew today as the first refugees arrived in Armenia, following Azerbaijan’s brutal invasion of the breakaway republic.
Thousands of people have evacuated from the cities and villages in Nagorno-Karabakh, after Azerbaijan broke its ceasefire agreement with the separatist government and launched a bloody invasion last Tuesday.
After just 24 hours of fighting, the government of Artsakh, as the Armenian separatists call Nagorno-Karabakh, announced that it had capitulated to Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev’s demands.
