According to official information, more than 2,900 people from Nagorno-Karabakh came to Armenia following Azerbaijan’s conquest of the Nagorno-Karabakh region in the South Caucasus.
The Armenian government said this was 5 a.m. (local time) on Monday. Nagorno-Karabakh is part of Azerbaijan under international law, but is mainly inhabited by ethnic Armenians, who largely controlled the region for three decades with the help of the Armenian government.
Last Tuesday, Azerbaijan militarily attacked the area, and a day later ethnic Armenians in Nagorno-Karabakh were forced to agree to a ceasefire. Azerbaijan pledged to respect the rights of the area’s approximately 120,000 ethnic Armenians. However, they fear being oppressed. The government in Armenia is therefore preparing for a wave of refugees.
Talks planned between Armenia and Azerbaijan
Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan will meet Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev on October 5 for talks as part of the European Political Community (EPG) meeting in Granada, Spain. In preparation for this, representatives of Armenia, Azerbaijan, Germany, France and the EU will meet in Brussels on Tuesday, the Armenian news agency Armenpress reported on Sunday, citing the government.
Armenia’s Prime Minister is disappointed by Russia
In a video message to the population, Pashinyan once again expressed his disappointment with the previous protective power, Russia. The Russian soldiers stationed on the ground did not protect the Karabakh Armenians, as agreed in 2020. Armenia must change its security policy, rely more on itself and look for other partners.
