Armenians fear ethnic cleansing | SVT News

A first conversation between Azerbaijan and the region’s self-proclaimed government was held in the Azeri city of Yevlax (Yevlakh) on Thursday. According to one proposal, the breakaway region of Nagorno-Karabakh should be integrated into the rest of Azerbaijan – something that ethnic Armenians are skeptical about. There is no trust in the totalitarian state of Azerbaijan and there is a fear of ethnic cleansing if they are allowed to rule Karabakh.

At the same time, there are protests against Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, who is accused of having betrayed his own population by agreeing to the ceasefire.

Hear SVT’s reporter Rebecca Haimi talk about the Armenian reactions to the events of the past few days.
