The Azerbaijani media reports that there are virtually no undemolished buildings in the reclaimed territories so far. France Press also reports that before the territory was handed over to the Azerbaijanis, many Armenians fled in a hurry to remove all their belongings, including slaughtering cattle, harvesting fruit from the trees, emptying cellars and even burning their homes.
Armenian media, meanwhile, have made loud allegations of violence and vandalism by ethnic Azerbaijani militias against ethnic Armenians.
