24 hours were enough for the Azerbaijani army to achieve the handover of the Armenian enclave of Nagorno-Karabakh. The fighting, which claimed around a hundred lives, ended on September 20 when the enclave’s leaders accepted Baku’s terms. It is indeed the end of the self-proclaimed Republic of Artsakh, as the independents call Nagorno-Karabakh.
First negotiations in the city of Yervlakh
After the surrender, negotiations between Nagorno-Karabakh and the Azerbaijani authorities began in the city of Yervlakh. Talks that are not so much about setting the conditions for the full integration of Karabakh into Azerbaijan: Karabakh is already almost completely militarily occupied by Azerbaijan and the local army has no way of resisting it, although this cannot be ruled out There may be some attempts at rebellion.
Guarantee for the local Armenian population
The task of the representatives of the local government of Karabakh is therefore rather to achieve some guarantees for the local Armenian population, which fears suffering discrimination and violence as it is now dominated by Azerbaijan. However, the negotiations ended without agreement and there will be new meetings in the coming days.
