After a ceasefire, Armenians from Nagorno-Karabakh have come to Yevlakh for discussions. President Ilham Aliyev has declared victory and ordered that all Armenian separatist troops disband and lay down their weapons so that the territory can be reintegrated into Azerbaijan. He lauded the peaceful transition in the region, saying that the 120,000 Karabakh Armenians would now have their religious and cultural freedoms protected. Many Armenians, however, took refuge with Russian forces at the airport in Stepanakert, the capital of Karabakh. President Pashinyan of Armenia has rejected his country’s role in the ongoing Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, saying that his administration has not been participating in the discussions but has noted the decision of the separatist leadership.

The United States is worried about the growing humanitarian crisis in the region and Azerbaijan’s military actions. Russia and Turkey, both of which have military bases in the region, have weighed in on the dispute. Since the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991, Russia has been Armenia’s primary economic partner and ally. With an emphasis on Moscow’s failure to safeguard Nagorno-Karabakh, Pashinyan has argued that Armenia should look to the West for security. Russian President Vladimir Putin applauded the agreement to halt hostilities and resume talks, but French President Emmanuel Macron criticized Azerbaijan for its use of force, which he said threatened to exacerbate the humanitarian crisis in Nagorno-Karabakh and derail efforts to establish a just and permanent peace in the region.
