Mass Exodus: Ethnic Armenians Forced to Flee Nagorno-Karabakh as Azerbaijan Takes Over

TL;DR Summary
Thousands of ethnic Armenians are fleeing their homes in Nagorno-Karabakh and seeking refuge in Armenia after Azerbaijan's military defeated separatist forces in the breakaway region. At least 19,000 out of 120,000 ethnic Armenians have already crossed into Armenia, with many traveling in overcrowded vehicles and enduring long journeys without food. As the exodus continues, fuel stations in the Karabakh capital are overwhelmed by panic buying, and a massive blaze at a fuel storage facility has resulted in casualties.
