Tens Of Thousands Of Armenians Flee Their 2,000-Year Heartland In Karabakh, Facing Genocide Tuesday, Sep 26, 2023 - 03:25 PM
Shocking scenes have been emerging from the Armenian enclave of Nagorno-Karabakh this week, after last week an Azerbaijan military offensive targeting a breakaway region killed at least 200 people and wounded many more.

The Armenian foreign ministry has tallied that at least 13,500 people have fled into Armenia from Nagorno-Karabakh by Tuesday.
That number was later revised to at least 19,000, and many more are expected, given blocked traffic in the direction of the Armenian border stretches for miles....
An exodus of tens of thousands of ethnic Armenians is underway from their 2,000-year ancient homeland of Artsakh, which in modern times has existed within the internationally recognized borders of Azerbaijan.
