Azerbaijan’s military operation forced Karabakh to capitulate
On September 20, the NKR authorities capitulated to Azerbaijan, which decided to conduct a military operation in the region. It was noted that the Karabakh troops will be disbanded and disarmed. The parties managed to reach an agreement taking into account the appeal of representatives of the Armenian residents of the region, which was received through the Russian peacekeeping contingent.
