Mass Exodus: Ethnic Armenians Fleeing Nagorno-Karabakh as Azerbaijan Army Advances

Nearly 90% of the ethnic Armenian population in Nagorno Karabakh have fled the region since Azerbaijan's army overran the enclave in a lightning offensive. Refugees have expressed fear and revulsion towards the Azerbaijani forces, with some describing the situation as genocide. Widespread rumors of atrocities, including decapitations and rape, have circulated among the refugees, although many admit they did not encounter Azerbaijani soldiers before fleeing. The exodus follows a history of conflict in the region, with each refugee having lost at least one family member in combat.
