Recent developments in Nagorno-Karabakh have attracted increasing international attention. As Azerbaijan launched a military operation aimed at regaining control of the majority Armenian separatist enclave, many people have been forced to flee their homes due to the violence. In this context, Samvel Shahramanian, the leader of the enclave, made an important statement: he announced that he would stay in Stepanakert, the capital of Nagorno-Karabakh, until relief operations for the victims were completed. completed.
This decision by Samvel Shahramanian demonstrates his commitment to the population of Nagorno-Karabakh and his desire to devote all necessary efforts to helping the victims of the fighting. While military operations have left nearly 600 dead and pushed more than 100,000 residents to flee to Armenia, the humanitarian situation in the region is worrying. The tragic explosion of a fuel depot also claimed the lives of many people trying to leave Nagorno-Karabakh.
The separatist government has thus affirmed its commitment to supporting citizens who wish to leave for Armenia and to focus on the situation of people who want to move. This response to the needs of the displaced population demonstrates the determination of the Nagorno-Karabakh government to protect its residents and provide them with adequate support.
Meanwhile, the issue of recognition of Nagorno-Karabakh remains unresolved. Although this region proclaimed its independence from Azerbaijan after the fall of the Soviet Union, this has not been recognized by any UN member state. Azerbaijan considers Nagorno-Karabakh an integral part of its territory and says it wants to “reintegrate” Armenian residents.
However, Azerbaijan’s allegations of “ethnic cleansing” have raised significant concerns and criticism. Human rights violations and attacks against the Armenian population have raised international concerns about the security and well-being of civilians in the region.
In this complex context, it is important to closely monitor developments in the situation in Nagorno-Karabakh. The stability and security of this region remain key priorities, and it is crucial that the international community commits to supporting relief efforts and finding a peaceful and lasting solution to this conflict. Samvel Shahramanian’s determination and commitment to remain in Stepanakert during the relief operations demonstrates a desire to preserve the lives and dignity of the people of Nagorno-Karabakh, despite the difficulties they face.
