Ethnic Armenians have described panic and sounds of gunfire in the de facto capital of Nagorno-Karabakh, Stepanakert, amid a tense cease-fire and talks between separatist leaders and Azerbaijan. It comes after the breakaway region's leaders were forced to surrender following a surprise offensive on September 19 by Azerbaijan's military. RFE/RL spoke to one woman who wanted to remain anonymous as she and others tried to make it to the region's only airport, which is under the control of Russian peacekeepers.
