YEREVAN, Oct 3 — Moscow said Russian and Azerbaijani forces yesterday came under sniper fire in Nagorno-Karabakh, days after Baku secured the surrender of Armenian separatists in an offensive to regain control of the mountainous territory.
Russia deployed its peacekeepers to the mountainous region in 2020 as part of a ceasefire deal it had brokered between Azerbaijan and Armenia. Another Armenian serviceman was killed when Azerbaijani forces opened fire near the eastern village of Kut on Monday, Armenia’s defence ministry said.Days after the lightning offensive, fighting has nevertheless subsided.Almost all ethnic Armenians — over 100,000 people — have fled the breakaway territory over fears of ethnic cleansing.
Buildings, restaurants, hotels and supermarkets laid deserted in a city that once had 55,000 inhabitants.After three decades of Armenian control, the separatist authorities have agreed to disarm, dissolve their government and reintegrate with Azerbaijan.President Samvel Shahramanyan “will stay in Stepanakert with a group of officials until the search and rescue operations for the remainder of those killed and those missing... are completed,” the separatist government said.
Yerevan has accused Azerbaijan of conducting a campaign of “ethnic cleansing” to clear Karabakh of its Armenian population.
