Azerbaijan

Over 19,000 ethnic Armenians have evacuated Nagorno-Karabakh following Azerbaijan’s takeover, which constitutes over 10% of the enclave’s Armenian residents, as reported by Armenia. A fuel storage facility explosion in Nagorno-Karabakh resulted in over 20 casualties and nearly 300 injuries. Representatives from Armenia and Azerbaijan will meet in Brussels, marking the first meeting since the recent conflict. Meanwhile, Turkish President Erdogan discussed a potential transport corridor through southern Armenia to Azerbaijan with Iranian President Raisi, indicating that the countries may want to capitalize on the turmoil in the region.
