On one of the roads leading to Armenia, the destination of those leaving, a column of hundreds of cars was formed, the BBC reports.Azerbaijan says residents will be safe, but Armenia's prime minister claims "ethnic cleansing" has begun.
Nagorno-Karabakh, recognized as part of Azerbaijan, has been run by ethnic Armenians for three decades, according to the BBC. The latest conflict took place last week, which ended quickly, with around 120,000 Armenians living there.
At least 200 Armenians and dozens of Azerbaijani soldiers were killed in an attack by the Azerbaijani army last week. As part of the cease-fire agreement, the Armenian separatists agreed to surrender their weapons.
Azerbaijanis said they wanted to treat Armenians as equal fellow citizens, but many among them decided to leave.
