Mass Exodus: Ethnic Armenians Abandon Nagorno-Karabakh Amidst Defeat and Uncertain Future
TL;DR Summary
Thousands of ethnic Armenians are fleeing Nagorno-Karabakh for Armenia following Azerbaijan's lightning offensive and subsequent takeover of the breakaway region. More than 6,500 people have already arrived in Armenia, with many more attempting to flee. A powerful explosion at a gas station near Stepanakert left over 200 people injured. Azerbaijan has stated that those who choose to remain in Nagorno-Karabakh must accept Azerbaijani citizenship, leading to concerns of ethnic cleansing. The majority of Karabakh Armenians do not want to live in Azerbaijan and are leaving for Armenia.
