UN Mission Returns to Nagorno-Karabakh After 30-Year Absence

A United Nations mission has arrived in Nagorno-Karabakh for the first time in 30 years, as more than 100,000 people have fled the region since Azerbaijan seized control. The mission's main task is to assess the humanitarian needs in the area, which has been almost entirely deserted by its inhabitants. The Armenian separatists, who had controlled Nagorno-Karabakh for three decades, surrendered last week after a lightning offensive by Azerbaijan. The fighting has resulted in nearly 600 deaths, and there are concerns about a serious humanitarian crisis.
