In September of this year, Azerbaijan conducted a military operation to restore the constitutional order in the occupied part of the country – Nagorno-Karabakh. As a result, on September 28, the “authorities” of Nagorno-Karabakh announced the termination of the existence of this unrecognized republic from January 1, 2024. Almost the entire Armenian population – about 100 thousand ethnic Armenians – left the region.
On October 5, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan signed a declaration recognizing Karabakh as the territory of Azerbaijan.
