It is an initial summary with a full, extended report to be released later. Through an international fact-finding effort that included hundreds of witness interviews and open-source data, the analysis aims to answer why there are no ethnic Armenians living in Nagorno-Karabakh as of May 2024. It documents how people in Nagorno-Karabakh were intentionally subjected to regular attacks, intimidation, deprivation of basic rights and adequate living conditions, and forced displacement. The evidence demonstrates that the Azerbaijani state acted upon a comprehensive, methodically implemented strategy to empty Nagorno-Karabakh of its ethnic Armenian population and historical and cultural presence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em><strong>About the Report<\/strong><\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This fact-finding report was jointly prepared by Freedom House, International Partnership for Human Rights, Democracy Development Foundation, Helsinki Citizens\u2019 Assembly &#8211; Vanadzor, Protection of Rights without Borders NGO, Law Development and Protections Foundation, and Truth Hounds.
