In Summary


• More than half the 120,000 ethnic Armenians of Nagorno-Karabakh have left in less than four days after Azerbaijan seized control of the mountain enclave where they had managed to defend their autonomy for three decades.

Samvel Shahramanyan, the head of the unrecognized Republic of Nagorno-Karabakh, signed on Thursday a decree to terminate the existence of the republic.

The unrecognized Republic of Nagorno-Karabakh will cease to exist from January 1, 2024, according to the decree.
