The exodus continues along the Lachin corridor, a mountain road leading out of Nagorno-Karabakh, after the predominantly Armenian enclave fell to the Azerbaijani military last week. On Tuesday, Armenia reported that more than 13,000 refugees had fled the disputed region since Sunday. IMAGES
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

Armenia's opposition, which for weeks has demanded the resignation of Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, has called for a nationwide strike to begin from 12:00 local time on Tuesday, December 22. IMAGES
