The Azerbaijani military routed Armenian forces in a 24-hour blitz last week.
A powerful blast at a fuel depot in Nagorno-Karabakh killed at least 20 people and injured hundreds more on Monday as ethnic Armenians streamed out of the breakaway territory after the Azerbaijani military reclaimed full control of it.
While Azerbaijan has pledged to respect the rights of ethnic Armenians in the region and restore supplies after a 10-month blockade, many local residents feared reprisals and decided to leave for Armenia. The first round was held last week. Azerbaijan’s presidential office said in a statement that the talks were held “in a constructive atmosphere” and that discussion focused on humanitarian aid to the region and medical services.
Demonstrators demanding Mr Pashinyan’s resignation over what they call his failure to protect Armenians in Nagorno-Karabakh continued blocking the Armenian capital’s main avenues on Monday, clashing occasionally with police.Nagorno-Karabakh came under the control of ethnic Armenian forces, backed by the Armenian military, in separatist fighting that ended in 1994.
Azerbaijan rejected the accusation, arguing the region could receive supplies through the Azerbaijani city of Aghdam, a solution long resisted by Nagorno-Karabakh authorities, who called it a strategy for Azerbaijan to gain control of the region.
