Nagorno-Karabakh Armenians Surrender to Azerbaijan

Azerbaijan and Armenia lie beside each other in the Caucasus Mountains bordering Iran, Turkey, Georgia and Russia.

In the 1920s, they became part of the Soviet Union. Although ethnically Armenian, Nagorno-Karabakh was controlled by Azerbaijan. But in the 1980s, as the Soviet Union began to fall, the Nagorno-Karabakh parliament voted to become a part of Armenia. This led to ethnic clashes and cleansings, with massacres on both sides and a full-scale war. Over the years, tens of thousands died and more than a million were displaced. The first war ended with a ceasefire in 1994, brokered by Russian forces, with Armenians in control, although the region remained a part of Azerbaijan. But the situation has continued to be volatile. In the six-week war of 2020, more than 6,500 people lost their lives, and Azerbaijan recaptured territories held by Armenia since 1994.

Now, after this latest offensive, the 86% Muslim nation of Azerbaijan plans to bring the region inhabited by 93% Christian Armenians under their full control.

After a nine-month blockade by Azerbaijan which left Armenians in the Nagorno-Karabakh region without access to adequate food, medical supplies and other necessities, followed by a 24-hour Azerbaijani military offensive this week in which many civilians lost their lives, Karabakh's forces have surrendered.

Father God, please comfort those who mourn, heal those who are injured, and be a Shield around the innocent, especially women and children. When they cry out to You, answer, O Lord. This border dispute over earthly territory has merely kicked land back and forth from one side to the other and back again, covering it with death. O Father, when will we learn? When will we see that our fight is not over occupying land in earthly kingdoms that are here today and gone tomorrow. Such craving cannot be satisfied. For our true Home is in Heaven. Earthly battles lose us to darkness. Only Your truth, love and grace can save us and bring us out of that darkness into Your light. Please awaken every heart on both sides to Your truth and grace. Meet every soldier and officer and leader in such powerful ways, they will lay down their weapons and seek peace, but most of all, Lord, may they seek You. You have promised that if we seek You we will find You if we look for You in earnest. Jeremiah 29:13. So, give every soldier and every person in Azerbaijan and Armenia earnestness, HUNGER for You. Meet them in their dreams. Talk to them throughout the day. Connect them with truth on the internet and through Christians. And reverse their strategy from war to LOVE. From death to LIFE. With man this is impossible. But with You, God, all things are possible. Come and meet every Armenian in tender-but-powerful ways, reminding them of who You are. Wherever Christians have been merely nominal, show them Your love, remind them of what the Gospel is all about, and draw them into a personal, saving relationship with Your Son Jesus. Give them courage to love, to forgive, to stand up for the things of Your heart. Raise up a generation of young people on fire for Your name, ready to take Your gospel to the unreached. And give Muslim Azerbaijanis a hunger for You so fierce they will let go of tradition and surrender to Truth. Call out Christian missionaries to go and live among them to share with them Your good news. And make a way for the Bible to be translated into all the languages of the 29 unreached people groups in Azerbaijan and Armenia, and made available to every person.
