Amid fears for the region’s Armenian population and bloody clashes on the shared border, Baku maintains concerns for free movement are misplaced.

Azerbaijan says a new border post on the only road in or out of the breakaway region of Nagorno-Karabakh is open for civilians, dismissing concerns it could be an effort to cut its ethnic Armenian population off from the outside world.
Inside Azerbaijan’s internationally recognized borders, the area has been controlled by its Armenian population since a war that followed the collapse of the USSR. In 2020, Baku launched an offensive to take back swathes of land,
leaving the region’s estimated 100,000 residents connected to Armenia by a sole highway, known as the Lachin corridor.
Yerevan has accepted Baku’s sovereignty over the region, but
insists an international mechanism should be put in place to guarantee the rights of Armenians living there in peace talks mediated by the EU, the U.S. and Russia.
