#NagornoKarabakh: Azerbaijani forces have entered the #Kelbajar region, as part if the agreement with 🇦🇲🇷🇺.

Kelbajar is the most mountainous areas of Karabakh, the main road from #Armenia to NK #Stepanakert runs right through it. Now the Armenians only have the Lachin road

@AFP

#NagornoKarabakh: earlier in the day @AFP recorded Armenian forces pulling out of #Kelbajar.

The entire districts was to be handed back to #Azerbaijan 🇦🇿 00:00 tonight

@BBCWorld

#NagornoKarabakh: This @BBCWorld report of #Stepanakert a week before the fighting ended shows the desperate situation the Armenian side was in. Hospital were overwhelmed, houses shelled to pieces.

#NagornoKarabakh: Azerbaijani military forces crossing the snow-covered mountain passes into #Kelbajar last night.

As of today, the district is back under the control of #Azerbaijan 🇦🇿

#Nagornokarabakh: Azerbaijani forces moving over the unpaved mountain roads into #Kelbajar. The region is very remote, especially with #Karabakh itself remaining under Armenian control. It will take a long time for civilians to return here, if they ever do

@NeilPHauer

#NagornoKarabakh: it appears however that not all Armenians have left the #Kelbajar district.

@NeilPHauer spoke to a 49-year old Armenian from the village of Charektar who was prepared to die fighting for his home thenationalnews.com/world/europe/t…

#NagornoKarabakh: video of the moment Azerbaijani forces arrived at the Dadivank monastery in #Kelbajar, which is guarded by Russian soldiers

#NagornoKarabakh: absolutely disgraceful footage coming out of #Kelbajar where Azerbaijani soldiers are trashing an Armenian cemetary.

Some Armenians knew this would happen and decided to dig up their loved ones before they left

#NagornoKarabakh: another video of a desecration of Armenian graves.

Is the Azerbaijani government gonna launch another "probe" into this?

#NagornoKarabakh: video from the abandoned village of Merdinli near #Fuzuli.

Armenian farmers apparently turned the local mosque into a barn for their livestock.

#NagornoKarabakh: with #Lachin being the next and final region to be handed back to #Azerbaijan (Dec. 1st) Armenian houses in this district are also going up into flames
