Reports say Azerbaijani students loot Armenian homes in Stepanakert

PanARMENIAN.Net - Azeris are looting the homes of Armenian residents in Stepanakert, according to the "Mountains of Karabakh" Telegram channel, as reported by Region Monitor.

The channel has published a video allegedly showing students involved in the looting. It is believed these students attend Artsakh State University, which has also suffered acts of vandalism.

Earlier reports indicated that Azerbaijan has been altering the structure of the Artsakh State University building, removing its entire cladding and covering the facade with wooden panels.

On September 19, 2023, Azerbaijan launched a large-scale attack on Artsakh, subjecting the entire region to heavy shelling. As a result, on September 20, the authorities of Artsakh accepted a ceasefire proposal from the Russian peacekeeping command, agreeing to Baku’s conditions, including the disarmament of the Artsakh Defense Army and the dissolution of the Republic of Artsakh. Starting September 24, the forced displacement of Artsakh Armenians began, with over 100,000 people fleeing to Armenia. According to some reports, only about 20 Armenians remain in Artsakh. On September 28, Artsakh's President Samvel Shahramanyan signed a decree on the dissolution of the republic, which took effect on January 1, 2024.
