At 1 p.m. on September 19, Azerbaijani Armed Forces launched a wide-scale attack on Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh), violating the November 9, 2020, trilateral statement. A ceasefire began 24 hours later on September 20, disarming the Artsakh Defense Army and forcibly displacing almost the entire population to Armenia via the Lachin Corridor. By decree of the Artsakh president, all state institutions will be dissolved by January 1, 2024, effectively ending the "Republic of Nagorno-Karabakh (Artsakh)."

After Azerbaijan’s large-scale military operation in Artsakh on September 19, the forcibly displaced Armenian population, over 100,000 people, are now in Armenia. Gohar Abrahamyan provides information about state services available to them.

With the Artsakh Republic ethnically cleansed by Azerbaijan, over 100,000 forcibly displaced Armenians from Artsakh are now in Armenia facing many challenges. Several UN agencies have provided support and a number of countries have offered aid.

EVN Report's Editor-in-Chief Maria Titizian speaks with Dr. Nerses Kopalyan, author of the monthly series "EVN Security Report" about how the status quo established by the Russo-Azerbaijani tandem in Nagorno-Karabakh completely broke down after Baku, coordinating operations with Russian forces, launched a massive invasion, culminating in the collapse of the Artsakh Republic.

The status quo established by the Russo-Azerbaijani tandem in Nagorno-Karabakh completely broke down after Baku launched a massive invasion of Artsakh while coordinating operations with Russian forces. This culminated in the collapse of the Artsakh Republic. Nerses Kopalyan presents an in-depth analysis of developments.

Despite unequivocal evidence, the United Nations, like other international actors, failed to address the threats looming over the Armenians of Nagorno-Karabakh, who today are uprooted, homeless, forcibly displaced with thousands more still fleeing.

Three years ago today, on September 27, Azerbaijan launched a catastrophic war against Artsakh, leaving thousands dead and swathes of territory captured. Three years on, the world is witnessing the mass exodus of the indigenous Armenian population of Artsakh.
