Armenia called on Saturday for the immediate deployment of a U.N. mission to monitor human rights and security in Nagorno-Karabakh amid signs that aid may be arriving in the breakaway region under a fragile ceasefire.
Karabakh, internationally recognised as part of Azerbaijan, has been run by a breakaway administration since a war in the early 1990s amid the breakup of the Soviet Union. Azerbaijan has promised to protect the Armenians' rights but says they are free to leave if they prefer.
Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Jeyhun Bayramov, also speaking to the U.N., said his country would continue with efforts towards "advancing post-conflict peace-building, reintegration, and peaceful coexistence." Security Council members have called for peace in the region, with a number of Armenia's Western allies condemning the Azeri military operation.
