'Armenians who have lived in Nagorno-Karabakh for millennia' will most likely flee to Armenia

Azerbaijan's brutal 24-hour military operation in Nagorno-Karabakh swiftly defeated the Karabakh Armenian forces. The bombing was so relentless, there was no way to bury the truckloads of lifeless bodies and now ethnic Armenians have begun to leave the capital for Armenia en masse. As Azerbaijan wrests control of the breakaway region, FRANCE 24's Rochelle FERGUSON BOUYAHI is joined by Dr. Taline Papazian, Senior Lecturer at Sciences Po Aix-en-Provence and Director-General at the Armenia Peace Initiative (API). She warns that the deadly conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh, and the ensuing mass exodus, has 'very high potential for destabilisation' in Armenia. Relations with Russia have plummeted, anger is high in Armenia, and the future of the once-very popular Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan hangs in the balance.
