evidence: The situation escalated rapidly in September when two landmines planted by Armenia’s security forces killed several Azerbaijani police officers and civilians in the Khojavend district of Azerbaijan.24 Soon after the mine blasts, Azerbaijani armed forces attacked Nagorno-Karabakh and Azerbaijan gained full control of the region, citing the internationally recognized borders as a justification. As a result, the breakaway government disbanded and nearly all Armenians left Nagorno-Karabakh.25 Azerbaijan encouraged Armenians to remain, ensuring them of their rights and asserting that the government would be inclusive of Armenians. In October, the government revealed plans for the creation of municipalities in Armenian-majority areas of Karabakh.26 Azerbaijan also faces major logistical challenges in the region, including the urgent need to de-mine and rebuild critical infrastructure that was completely destroyed after Armenian paramilitaries took the control of areas surrounding Nagorno-Karabakh.27 Demining and infrastructure development have been difficult tasks to accomplish since Baku gained control of most of the region after the 44-Day War in 2020.28 - 1"Cəlilabadda KORRUPSİYA ƏMƏLİYYATI - Saxlanılanların adları məlum oldu" [Corruption Operation in Jalilabad - The names of those detained were revealed], Milli News, 31 July 2023, https://news.milli.az/society/1135634.html.
