Some territories are to be handed over to Azerbaijan following a ceasefire agreement between Russia and Azerbaijan on the Nagorno-Karabakh issue. Many Armenians are leaving their homes before the end of the weekend and setting their homes on fire before leaving.
Under the ceasefire agreement reached with the help of Russia, France and the United States, Armenia is to hand over the towns of Klubjar and Aqdam to Azerbaijan by November 20, while the city of Lachin will be handed over to Azerbaijan by December 1. Armenia has suffered heavy losses in the six-week war, with more than 2,300 soldiers killed. Azerbaijan had Turkish support in this war.
