The situation in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan remains tense and complex. The military has displayed heavy weapons that were captured, including tanks, guns, RPGs, and other military equipment. This move has raised concerns about the welfare of civilians in the region.
The humanitarian situation in Nagorno-Karabakh is reportedly dire, with civilians lacking food and shelter. Separatists have controlled large parts of it for decades, leading to a protracted conflict. The United Nations plans to send a mission to monitor the rights of ethnic Armenians in the region, arguing that they are under threat. The country has expressed its desire to reintegrate the region and its residents as equal citizens. Many people have been displaced from their villages and are facing difficult conditions. Russian peacekeepers are present in the region and have been working to disarm ethnic Armenian forces, a key demand for a ceasefire.
The courtyard of a military headquarters in Susa, near the capital, was the site of this event, which occurred during or after the second Nagorno-Karabakh conflict that took place from September 27 to November 10, 2020, between Armenia and Azerbaijan. The displayed weapons included a T-72 tank and several BMP-2 armored personnel carriers. The size of the area filled with these captured weapons was estimated to be equivalent to half a football field by the BBC.
Approximately 120,000 ethnic Armenians live in Nagorno-Karabakh, but they claim that they are not planning to forcibly remove anyone. They mentioned that Azerbaijan has prepared refugee camps outside of Karabakh to accommodate civilians. There is mistrust on both sides, but the United Nations will treat the Karabakh Armenians as “equal citizens.”
They believe that the world should be informed about what is happening in a particular place or situation. The Azerbaijani government has conveyed that there is no cause for concern, but the speaker doubts this and suggests allowing international observers to access the areas. The atmosphere was described as serious, with no signs of happiness or smiles among the Russian peacekeepers present. The fact that there has been no major violence since the surrender could indicate a ceasefire or a lull in hostilities, but the seriousness of the atmosphere suggests that the situation remains delicate.
