MOSCOW (Reuters) - The ethnic Armenians of Nagorno-Karabakh will leave for Armenia as they do not want to live as part of Azerbaijan and fear ethnic cleansing, the leadership of the breakaway region told Reuters on Sunday.

"Our people do not want to live as part of Azerbaijan. 99.9% prefer to leave our historic lands," David Babayan, an adviser to Samvel Shahramanyan, the president of the self-styled "Republic of Artsakh".

He said it was unclear when the 120,000 of Karabakh Armenians would move down the Lachin corridor.

"The fate of our poor people will go down in history as a disgrace and a shame for the Armenian people and for the whole civilised world. Those responsible for our fate will one day have to answer before God for their sins."

Azerbaijan is starving and kiling the Armenians. That’s why they don’t allow any international observers to enter the area. So everything will be kept hush from the public. Do some research. This is a genocide

The Armenians are not leaving by choice, but being forced out. We never wanted to leave our ancestral lands.

Armenians are being ethnically cleansed. It’s a genocide. They are not leaving by choice, but rather being forced

What is this fake article? They’re being ethnically cleansed. It’s a genocide. The Armenians are not leaving by choice. The Lachin corridor has been under Azerbaijani blockade for months. They starved the Armenians then started combing them. Now they are putting bounties out for the raping and beheading of Armenians. So to be clear. They do not prefer to leave our historic lands, but are being cleansed/pushed out.
