Ilham Aliyev launched a military operation to retake the region last month.
MOSCOW: Azerbaijani president Ilham Aliyev today raised the national flag in the capital of the former breakaway region of Nagorno-Karabakh after a lightning military operation last month brought the territory back under Azerbaijan’s control.
The capital, known as Khankendi by Azerbaijan and as Stepanakert by Armenians, fell to Azerbaijan after security forces crushed ethnic Armenian fighters last month, prompting most of Karabakh’s 120,000 ethnic Armenians to flee to Armenia. As the Soviet Union crumbled, what is known as the First Karabakh War erupted between Armenians and their Azeri neighbours.Azerbaijan lost a chunk of its territory with Armenians left in control of most of Karabakh, alongside extra territory around Karabakh’s perimeter.In 2020, after decades of skirmishes, Azerbaijan began a military operation which became the Second Karabakh War swiftly breaking through Armenian defences.
