Thousands of refugees flee as Azerbaijan occupies Armenian enclaves

AZERBAIJANI troops occupied Kalbajar, territory previously controlled by the ethnic Armenian Republic of Artsakh enclave, today.
The area is one of several regions adjoining the disputed Nagorno-Karabakh area which have been handed to Azerbaijan as part of a truce negotiated by Russia.
The handover was delayed from November 15 because worsening weather made the withdrawal of “Armenian soldiers and civilians” along the single mountain track connecting the region with Armenia more difficult, Azerbaijani officials said.
