Presidential adviser says Karabakh Armenian rights will be respected as part of their integration.
Officials said scores of people were killed and wounded after Azerbaijan rained artillery fire on Armenian positions.
Azerbaijani president Ilham Aliyev on Wednesday said his iron fist had consigned the idea of a separate ethnic Armenian Karabakh to history and that now the region would live in “paradise” as part of Azerbaijan. Karabakh Armenian rights would be respected as part of their integration into Azerbaijan, he said, adding that they had requested humanitarian support as well as oil and gasoline supplies. Three cargos of humanitarian help would be delivered to the region on Friday, he said.
Karabakh is internationally recognised as part of mainly Muslim Azerbaijan, but its Christian Armenian population has held de facto independence since breaking away in a war in the 1990s as the Soviet Union collapsed.
