A dog on a leash walks past a group of Armenian police officers sitting on a bench as they keep watch near the government building during an opposition rally demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Pashinyan due to the Nagorno-Karabakh crisis, in downtown Yerevan, Armenia on September 30, 2023. Azerbaijan on 19 September 2023 launched a brief military offensive on the contested region of Nagorno-Karabakh, a breakaway enclave that is home to some 120,000 ethnic Armenians. Following a ceasefire agreed on 20 September 2023, Azerbaijan opened all checkpoints with Armenia for the unimpeded exit of civilians from the disputed territory. The Armenian government announced the evacuation of more than 100,000 local residents from Nagorno-Karabakh, and a humanitarian center has been set up in the village of Kornidzor near the so-called Lachin corridor, the main route between Armenia and the breakaway region.
