Armenia's leader says Azerbaijan committing 'act of ethnic cleansing' as '65,036 forcefully displaced persons' flee Nagorno-Karabakh region.
"Our analysis shows that in the coming days there will be no Armenians in Nagorno-Karabakh," Pashinyan told his cabinet members on Thursday, according to the French news agency AFP."This is an act of ethnic cleansing of which we were warning the international community for a long time."
The breakaway region of Nagorno-Karabakh, recognized internationally as part of Azerbaijan, is seen in red. Over the last week, amid what Azerbaijan calls"anti-terrorist" operations in Nagorno-Karabakh, almost a quarter of its population has fled to Armenia. Some of the ethnic Armenian residents have said they had only minutes to decide to pack up their things and abandon their homes to join the exodus down the only road into neighboring Armenia.
Refugees load a truck in Goris, Armenia, Sept. 26, 2023, before leaving to the capital Yerevan. A continuous stream of vehicles crept along the only road out of the Nagorno-Karabakh region toward Armenia, carrying tens of thousands of refugees.Samantha Powers, the head of the U.S. government's primary aid agency, was in Armenia this week and announced that the U.S. government would provide $11.5 million worth of assistance.
