Azerbaijan has said its military measures in Nagorno-Karabakh are continuing for a second day, having launched what it calls “anti-terror” operations in the enclave.

It says it will not stop until Karabakh’s ethnic Armenians surrender.

Tensions in the South Caucasus have been high for months around the breakaway region, recognised internationally as part of Azerbaijan.

Azerbaijan and Armenia last went to war three years ago.

    Let’s not pretend this was a completely unavoidable situation that the west could just walk into and stop

    It was, Armenia hasn’t ever been offered an alternative. So let’s not pretend that “the West” is clean of complicity in a genocide here.

    I wish Armenia had chosen better friends.

    It didn’t choose, don’t pretend, again. NATO has Turkey as a member, and supports that member, and that member supports Azerbaijan, and Azerbaijan is attacking Armenia.
