Sunday is the first deadline. That is when Karvachar, formerly known as Kelbajar will be turned over.

In the Kashatagh Region of Artsakh, as well as, residents are burning their houses and leaving.

After taking down the pictures of Armenian heroes from the walls of Erkej secondary school, its students spray painted notes—addressing Azerbaijanis—on the interior and exterior walls.

Aghdam is scheduled to be handed over on November 20.

A caravan of cars was spotted making its way along the Berdzor (Lachin) corridor headed toward Armenia, as another caravan of Russian peacekeepers was entering Artsakh.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
