Leader of breakaway region Nagorno-Karabakh dissolves the self-declared republic

Queues of people are still trying to leave, more than a week after Azerbaijan took control in a swift military offensive.

The leader of Nagorno-Karabakh has signed a decree, ordering the dissolution of the self-declared republic.
All state institutions will cease to exist from January the 1st next year.

More than half of the 120,000 ethnic Armenians in Nagorno-Karabakh have fled to Armenia.
That's about 68,000 people.

Armenia’s Prime Minister, Nikol Pashinyan, is urging the international community to act against what he calls ethnic cleansing.

Al Jazeera’s Osama bin Javaid is live in Fuzuli in Azerbaijan monitoring the latest developments.
