By Mark Dovich France plans to sell weapons to Armenia, the two countries’ foreign ministers confirmed Tuesday. “France has given its consent to the conclusion of future contracts with Armenia that will allow for the delivery of military equipment to Armenia so that it can ensure its defense,” France’s Catherine Colonna said at a press conference in Yerevan alongside Armenia’s Ararat Mirzoyan. The exact type of arms that will be supplied was not immediately clear, nor was the timeline for the deliveries. Mirzoyan declined to answer reporters’ questions to that effect, saying only, “We are talking about supporting Armenia’s defense […]

By Mark Dovich Amid reports that nearly all of Nagorno-Karabakh’s Armenians have fled, a United Nations needs assessment mission reached the region on Sunday, marking the first time in about three decades the organization has had access to the region. The mission is meant to “assess the situation on the ground and identify the humanitarian needs for both people remaining and people that are on the move,” a UN spokesperson told reporters last week. But with Nagorno-Karabakh largely emptied of its Armenian population after more than 100,000 people fled from the region to Armenia in just the past week, the […]
In just a week’s time, Nagorno-Karabakh has gone from a wounded but still proud and vibrant land of over 100,000 residents, to one bloodied, broken, and almost completely devoid of its people. On social media, most can only watch in helpless horror the scenes of its population making the arduous journey to Armenia along a hopelessly clogged roadway, a massive explosion which killed or grievously wounding hundreds of those trying to flee, the ever-rising counter of the number of refugees crossing into Armenia, leaders such as Ruben Vardanyan being led in handcuffs by Azerbaijani police, and clips of bewildered people […]
Armenia’s business community is rallying to support the tens of thousands of people displaced by Azerbaijan’s assault on Nagorno-Karabakh last week. In less than a week, more than 90,000 people – the majority of Nagorno-Karabakh’s population – have fled their homes and arrived in Armenia. Most of them are arriving with only whatever belongings they could wear on their backs or fit in a car. Almost all of them are malnutritioned after nearly ten months living under Azerbaijan’s blockade.
Tens of thousands of people fleeing Nagorno-Karabakh continue to arrive in Goris, Armenia after a treacherous journey through the Lachin Corridor. Following a nearly ten-month blockade that left the region in famine, those who made it to Armenia say they were waiting for the opening of the corridor, but now they have lost both home and homeland. Azerbaijan’s attack last week on the region was the final push that led the population to the brink of ethnic cleansing.
