Images show cars and trucks queuing on a road near Kornidzor, an Armenian town close to the border with Azerbaijan, as the exodus from the disputed Nagorno-Karabakh region continues. On Tuesday, Yerevan reported that more than 13,000 refugees have fled the predominantly Armenian enclave since Sunday. Last week, the region came under Azerbaijani attack, before quickly falling under Baku's control. IMAGES
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

As the village of Nor Maragha empties, even an entire house is loaded onto a flatbed truck so the incoming Azerbaijanis have nothing left to recover. IMAGES
