Azerbaijan arrests the former head of Nagorno-Karabakh's separatist government after an offensive

Azerbaijan has arrested the former head of Nagorno-Karabakh's separatist government, Ruben Vardanyan, as he attempted to cross into Armenia along with thousands of others fleeing the region.
Vardanyan, a billionaire businessman, had moved to Nagorno-Karabakh in 2022 and served as the region's government leader before stepping down earlier this year.
The arrest, announced by Azerbaijan's border guard service, is a significant development following Azerbaijan's recent 24-hour blitz to regain control of the enclave.
