Along the Lachin corridor, a mountain road linking Nagorno-Karabakh to Armenia, thousands of ethnic Armenians are scrambling to cross the border, fleeing Azerbaijan’s military takeover of the disputed territory at the heart of a three-decades-old conflict. FRANCE 24’s team visited a border checkpoint and followed refugees to a temporary shelter in Armenia’s Goris.
At the border between Armenia and Azerbaijan, cars and trucks arrive one by one, packed with displaced families fleeing Nagorno-Karabakh, like the majority of the enclave’s population.
