Christian enclave ends decadeslong conflict in surrender, but genocide fears remain high
Fox News
Armenia took control over the region in 1994 following the fall of the Soviet Union, but Azerbaijan gained it back following heavy fighting in 2020 as part of a ceasefire agreement.
The ethnic Armenians in Nagorno-Karabakh, who call themselves the "Republic of Artsakh," surrendered after Azeri forces broke through their lines and seized a number of strategic points, seemingly putting an end to a decadeslong conflict with Azerbaijan. Peter Aitken is a Fox News Digital reporter with a focus on national and global news.
A statement from the Republic of Artsakh following the surrender slammed much of the world for "inadequate" action and failing to protect the 120,000 Christians in the region from what Armenia and its supporters have alleged amounted to the start of a genocide.
