The authorities in Nagorno-Karabakh stated that more than 50,000 ethnic Armenians, out of a population of about 120,000 people residing in the region, have already left in what is described as forced displacement.

In turn, Azeri officials have refuted Armenian accusation of ethnic cleansing, however, images, videos, and messages of thousands exiting the landlocked region through the only existing corridor has provoked "widespread international alarm," according to Reuters.

Aliyev says Baku fully restored 'sovereignty'

Azerbaijan's President Ilham Aliyev stated earlier on Monday that the country had fully restored its sovereignty just five days ago and expressed confidence in the successful reintegration of Nagorno-Karabakh Armenians into Azerbaijani society.

"If three years ago, as a result of the second Karabakh war, we put an end to the occupation, on April 23 we completely restored our territorial integrity by establishing a border checkpoint on the Azerbaijani-Armenian border in the direction of Lachin. Five days ago we fully secured and restored our sovereignty. As a result of the anti-terrorist activities carried out in less than 24 hours, the Armenian army, which was illegally on the territory of Azerbaijan, surrendered, accepted our conditions and, so, Azerbaijan fully secured its sovereignty," he said during a joint press conference with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Nakhchivan.

The president also expressed optimism about the reintegration process of Armenians in Nagorno-Karabakh into Azerbaijani society.

After Azerbaijan began conducting military actions in Nagorno-Karabakh on September 19, the Armenian government reported on Monday that around 3,000 people had entered Armenia from the contested region.
