Residents of Nagorno-Karabakh – disputed by Armenia and Azerbaijan – took shelter in basements on September 19 as the Azerbaijani defence ministry launched a military operation, demanding the total withdrawal of Armenian forces from the region. Fears of a fresh war have been building recently, as Armenia has accused Azerbaijan of amassing troops and blockading the country’s only corridor into the breakaway region. A resident of Stepanakert, the capital of Nagorno-Karabakh, told us more.
Azerbaijan launched a military operation Tuesday in Nagorno-Karabakh, three years after a previous war broke out in the region. The country has demanded the “total and unconditional” withdrawal of Armenian forces from the contested breakaway region.
