The Armenians heave freshly-slaughtered pigs into the back of a van as they rush to pack every single one of their possessions before Azerbaijani forces arrive.

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.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan arrives in the Azerbaijani exclave of Nakhichevan to meet his counterpart, Ilham Aliyev. The meeting, taking place in the territory locked between Armenia and Iran on the border with Turkey, comes just days after Azerbaijan seized the Armenian-populated enclave of Nagorno-Karabakh and was officially intended to launch the construction of a gas pipeline. The two presidents are, however, also due to discuss Nagorno-Karabakh and the opening to Azerbaijanis of Armenia's Zangezur corridor, Turkish media reported. IMAGES
