International Support Urged for Peace in Nagorno-Karabakh Amid Rising Death Toll
Armenian soccer player Henrikh Mkhitaryan has called on international leaders to take action against ethnic cleansing in the disputed Nagorno-Karabakh region. The majority of ethnic Armenians in Nagorno-Karabakh have been forcibly displaced and are fleeing to Armenia. The region has been under blockade, preventing the import of essential supplies, and there are concerns of a humanitarian crisis. Mkhitaryan is urging for the deployment of international monitoring missions and immediate humanitarian aid. The conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan has a long history, and Azerbaijan recently launched a brief but deadly offensive, claiming sovereignty over Nagorno-Karabakh.
