Fatal attack. At least 200 people were killed and 400 others injured in Azerbaijan’s military operation in Nagorno-Karabakh, according to a new report released by Armenian separatists in the disputed enclave.

“There are at least 200 dead and more than 400 injured,” Gegam Stepanyan, a human rights defender in Nagorno-Karabakh, said on social media.

The Azerbaijani President welcomed on Wednesday that Azerbaijan “restored its sovereignty” over the region after a lightning victory over the Armenian separatists who “began” to lay down their weapons.

Victory in 24 hours

President Ilham Aliyev added during a press conference that “most” of the Armenian separatists’ forces and equipment were “destroyed,” adding that the Armenian authorities, according to him, had shown “political competence” in not intervening directly in the conflict. .

The separatists, who were defeated within 24 hours, announced in a press statement the signing of “an agreement on a complete cessation of hostilities” with “the mediation of the leadership of the Russian peace forces.”

France is concerned about a “humanitarian crisis”

On Wednesday, French President Emmanuel Macron asked Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev to “provide guarantees regarding the rights and security of the people of Karabakh.”

During a telephone interview, Emmanuel Macron condemned “the choice made by Azerbaijan to resort (…) to force, which may exacerbate the humanitarian crisis in Nagorno-Karabakh and harm the ongoing efforts to search for a just and lasting peace.”
