 Illegal regime in Azerbaijani Karabakh ceases to exist. The illegal regime in the Karabakh region of Azerbaijan ceases to exist by announcing its self-dissolution. The head of the separatists, Samvel Sharamanian, signed a decree on the termination of the existence of the so-called Republic of Nagorno-Karabakh. The decree notes that the separatist regime ceases to exist in connection with the current situation and with respect to the agreement reached with representatives of the central authorities of Azerbaijan, through the mediation of the command of the Russian peacekeeping contingent which provides for free, voluntary and unimpeded passage of residents of Karabakh, including military personnel who have laid down their arms with their property on their vehicles along the Lachin Road. It is noted that the Armenian population of Karabakh should become familiar with the conditions of reintegration presented by the Republic of Azerbaijan in order to subsequently make an independent and individual decision on the possibility of staying in Karabakh. The move comes after Azerbaijan carried out a lightning offensive to reclaim full control over its region and demanded that Armenian troops in Nagorno-Karabakh lay down their weapons and the separatist government dismantle itself. Karabakh was run by separatist authorities for about 30 years and was retaken from Armenia in a 2020 war.
