Turkey’s Erdogan to meet Azeri counterpart as thousands flee Karabakh

Recep Tayyip Erdogan will meet with Ilham Aliyev to discuss with the situation in the Karabakh region.

Ethnic Armenians wait to be temporarily checked into a hotel in Goris, the town in Syunik region, Armenia.

The Armenians of Karabakh, a territory internationally recognised as part of Azerbaijan but previously beyond its control, were forced into a ceasefire last week after a 24-hour military operation by the much-larger Azerbaijani military.
