Decree dissolves Nagorno-Karabakh statelet by January
The separatist republic of Nagorno-Karabakh in Azerbaijan will cease to exist by 1 January as more than 65,000 people from the Armenian enclave have fled. The separatist leader of Nagorno-Karabakh ordered on Thursday the dissolution of all state institutions by the end of the year, saying the separatist statelet “ceases to exist” from 1 January 2024. An Azerbaijani court then placed Ruben Vardanyan in pre-trial detention after charging him with financing terrorism and other crimes. A Baku court ruled that Vardanyan, a businessman who headed the ethnic Armenian region from November 2022 until February this year, should be arrested and placed in pre-trial detention for four months, Azerbaijan’s state security service said. Meanwhile, Yerevan said Thursday the exodus continued from the breakaway enclave which Azerbaijan recaptured last week in a lighting offensive. By Thursday morning, “65,036 forcefully displaced persons crossed into Armenia from Nagorno-Karabakh,” Armenian government spokesperson, Nazeli Baghdasaryan, said in a statement. Some 120,000 ethnic Armenians were estimated to be living in the territory before Baku’s offensive to retake the territory. “The state is providing suitable housing to all those who do not have a predetermined place of residence,” she said. On Sunday, Azerbaijan reopened the sole road linking Nagorno-Karabakh with Armenia, the Lachin corridor policed by Russian peacekeepers — four days after Armenian separatist forces agreed to lay down arms and disband their army. The return of the Armenian-populated separatist enclave under the control of the central government in Baku has led to a mass exodus of ethnic Armenians. Internationally recognized as part of Azerbaijan, Nagorno-Karabakh, which broke away from Baku three decades, was at the center of two wars between mostly Christian Armenia and predominantly Muslim Azerbaijan.

‘Defeated’ Armenians turn ire on leader
Armenia’s government faces new woes after losing Nagorno-Karabakh to Azerbaijan forces as citizens vented their ire on their leader. Anti-government demonstration erupted in Yerevan and the protest on the mishandling of the Nagorno-Karabakh crisis continued Friday. Opposition parties are taking part in the rallies, accusing Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan of too many concessions to Baku and demanding his resignation. Protesters were blocking streets across the Armenian capital to prevent Pashinyan’s cabinet meeting as opposition leaders announced plans to impeach him in parliament. On Wednesday and Thursday, dozens of protesters were detained outside Pashinyan’s offices for throwing bottles and stones, and attempting to break into the building. Opposition politician Andranik Tevanyan was among those detained. Riot police have used stun grenades against the demonstrators. Pashinyan appealed for calm in a televised address. On Tuesday, Azerbaijan launched a military operation to retake the Armenian-populated enclave of Nagorno-Karabakh which had been under Armenian separatists’ control since the 1990s war between the Caucasus arch foes. Armenian separatists agreed to lay down their arms on Wednesday as part of a Russian-brokered ceasefire plan that halted Azerbaijan’s 24-hour offensive to retake land at the center of decades of conflict. A ceasefire was agreed upon by the two sides with Russian peacekeepers as monitors, while Azerbaijan and the separatists held their first direct peace talks Thursday.
