Oct 02, 2023
Lachin[Azerbaijan], October 2: A United Nations mission visited Nagorno-Karabakh on Sunday, Azerbaijan said, after almost the entire ethnic-Armenian population fled since Baku recaptured the breakaway enclave. An Azerbaijani presidency spokesman told AFP that a "UN mission arrived in Karabakh on Sunday morning" - mainly to assess humanitarian needs. It marks the first time in about 30 years that the international body has gained access to the region. Later on Sunday, an Azerbaijani foreign ministry spokesman told AFP that the mission had visited a checkpoint at the Karabakh border with Armenia.
