Over 70% of population in Nagorno-Karabakh flees as separatist country reintegrates with Azerbaijan

More than 70% of the population of Nagorno-Karabakh, which has been run by ethnic Armenian separatist authorities for decades, has fled the region for Armenia.

The moves came after Azerbaijan carried out a lightning offensive last week to reclaim full control over the breakaway region and demanded that Armenian troops in Nagorno-Karabakh disarm and the separatist government disband.
