Growing Concern for Ethnic Armenians as Nagorno-Karabakh Situation Worsens

The ethnic Armenians of Nagorno-Karabakh, a breakaway region, have expressed their desire to leave for Armenia rather than live as part of Azerbaijan due to fears of ethnic cleansing. An adviser to the region's leader stated that nearly all of the 120,000 Karabakh Armenians prefer to leave their historic lands, although the timing of their relocation remains uncertain. The situation has raised concerns about the fate of these individuals and the responsibility of those involved in their displacement.
