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
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
Images show abandoned cars along the Lachin Corridor road that connects Nagorno-Karabakh with Armenia and which some one hundred-thousand Armenians moved down as they fled the breakaway enclave, according to a count by the Armenian authorities. IMAGES
