ABC News: Nagorno-Karabakh enclave emptied after entire ethnic Armenian population flees
More than 100,000 Armenians have fled in what's being called "ethnic cleansing."
LONDON -- Virtually the entire ethnic Armenian population of the disputed enclave of Nagorno-Karabakh has fled, with the last buses carrying refugees having left on Monday, according to Russia's peacekeeping force deployed there.
More than 100,000 ethnic Armenians left the enclave in the last week, according to local officials, abandoning their homes after Azerbaijan, backed by Turkey, recaptured the region with a military offensive just over a week ago.
The exodus has emptied the enclave in what Armenia has condemned as "ethnic cleansing."
