PanARMENIAN.Net – Azerbaijanis have reportedly started to settle in the Nagorno-Karabakh settlements of Berdzor, Aghavno and Sus after hundreds of Armenian families were displaced less than 10 days earlier.
Aravot.am on Sunday, September 4 published footage from the road that previously only served to connect the Armenian town of Goris to the Karabakh capital city of Stepanakert, which showed an Azerbaijani motorcade loaded with mattresses, bedding and other necessary items driving towards said villages.
The road through Berdzor (the Lachin corridor) is now used by Azerbaijanis too but a new route connecting Nagorno-Karabakh to Armenia opened to traffic on August 30.
The corridor, currently used as connection between Armenia and Karabakh, was supposed to serve its purpose at least until the fall of 2023, but Azerbaijan built a new road and demanded that the corridor be moved now.
Nagorno-Karabakh’s authorities informed the few remaining Armenian residents of the town of Berdzor and the villages of Aghavno and Sus that are situated along the current Lachin corridor that no Russian peacekeepers will be left in the territory after August 25 and, therefore, they needed to leave their homes before the end of the month. However, a top Russian diplomat has said that the peacekeepers were not going to move an inch.
