Nagorno-Karabakh’s separatist government says it will disband by year’s end
LA TimesA wounded 84-year-old man from Stepanakert, the capital of Nagorno-Karabakh, is helped by volunteers upon arriving in Goris, Armenia, on Wednesday. In December, Azerbaijan imposed a blockade of the only road connecting Nagorno-Karabakh to Armenia, accusing the Armenian government of using the road for mineral extraction and illicit weapons shipments to the region’s separatist forces. Weakened by the blockade, and with Armenia’s leadership distancing itself from the conflict, ethnic Armenian forces in the region agreed to lay down arms less than 24 hours after Azerbaijan began its offensive last week. Shakhramanyan’s decree Thursday urged residents — including those who left — “to familiarize themselves with the conditions of reintegration offered by the Republic of Azerbaijan, in order to then make an individual decision about the possibility of staying in Nagorno-Karabakh.” Azerbaijan’s Foreign Ministry on Thursday also urged the Armenian population of the region “not to leave their places of residence and become part of the multinational Azerbaijan.” Azerbaijani authorities said they were sending 30 buses to Stepanakert at the request of “the Armenian residents” for those who don’t have cars but want to go to Armenia. Another top separatist figure, David Babayan, Nagorno-Karabakh’s former foreign minister and now presidential advisor, said Thursday he would surrender to Azerbaijani authorities after they “demanded my arrival in Baku for a proper investigation.” Babayan said in a Facebook post that he would head from Stepanakert to the nearby city of Shusha, also called Shushi, which has been under Azerbaijani control since 2020.
