The hand over of Artsakh’s Karvachar (Kelbajar) region to Azerbaijan, which was scheduled for Sunday, has been delayed for 10 more days.
Karvachar was the first of several territories to be surrendered to Azerbaijan as part of the “end of war” agreements signed by Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and the presidents of Russia and Azerbaijan. That agreement also stipulates the surrender of Shushi.
The delay was attributed to the lack of capacity of the roads leading to Armenia from the region.
Many Artsakh residents, who have been forced to leave their homes because of surrender of territories to Azerbaijan as stipulated in the “end of war” agreement, have chosen to burn or destroy their homes rather than leave them to Azerbaijanis who might settle there.
In the Kashatagh Region of Artsakh, as well as, residents are burning their houses and leaving.
After taking down the pictures of Armenian heroes from the walls of Erkej secondary school, its students spray painted notes—addressing Azerbaijanis—on the interior and exterior walls.

A caravan of cars was spotted making its way along the Berdzor (Lachin) corridor headed toward Armenia, as another caravan of Russian peacekeepers was entering Artsakh.
