Images of Armenians gathering to take part in an anti-government protest in central Yerevan. Azerbaijan's lightning military takeover of the Nagorno-Karabakh, ethnic Armenian enclave, last week, sparked a sudden exodus of 100,417 people, according to Yerevan, from an estimated population of 120,000 since the breakaway region saw its decades-long fight against Azerbaijani rule end in sudden defeat.

Thousands rally in Stepanakert, the biggest city in - and capital of - the self-proclaimed Nagorno-Karabakh region of Azerbaijan, to protest the blockade of the only land link to Armenia. For almost two weeks, Azerbaijani activists have blocked the Lachin corridor in protest over what they claim is illegal mining in the area, but Yerevan has accused Baku of staging demonstrations and creating a humanitarian crisis in the mountainous enclave. Armenia and Azerbaijan, both ex-Soviet states, have fought brutal wars over the Karabakh region in recent decades. IMAGES
The first civilians are driving through the six-kilometre Lachin corridor, which is Armenia’s sole land link with Nagorno-Karabakh following the Moscow-brokered peace deal that ended six weeks of fierce fighting over the disputed region. Safe passage of people and goods is ensured by Russian peacekeepers. IMAGES
Dozens of protesters, including 10 prominent opposition figures were arrested for their role in violent unrest that erupted after the government signed a peace deal with Azerbaijan that ceded swathes of territory. IMAGES
