Big Exodus From Armenian Enclave After It Falls To Azerbaijan Forces
Azerbaijan on September 19 launched an "anti-terror" strike aimed at Nagorno-Karabakh, the semi-autonomous, Armenian-majority region within its internationally recognized borders. A day later, the breakaway government agreed to disarm and dissolve its military. It was the second time in three years that Azerbaijan's government made decisive gains in a conflict with Nagorno-Karabakh. Now, many of those ethnic Armenians are fleeing the territory - 50,000, according to authorities in Nagorno-Karabakh, although some estimates are as high as 70,500.
