Speaking before the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva this week, Armenia's ambassador Andranik Hovhannisyan said that his country had previously warned of "looming ethnic cleansing" in Nagorno-Karabakh, stressing it was now "in progress". For Armenians, the recent attacks in the enclave have brought back bitter memories of the 1915 genocide.
"This week has been a catastrophe for the South Caucasus," says Lara Setrakian, president of the Yerevan-based think-tank Applied Policy Research Institute (APRI).
