In the wake of escalating airstrikes and tensions, many Iranians, particularly ethnic Armenians, are attempting to reach the borders with Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Turkey. The conflict has led to increased security concerns, prompting individuals like Andranik Harutyunyan to seek refuge across borders, although calm persists in some cities. In response to the situation, Azerbaijan has opened its southern border checkpoint with Iran, though broader travel restrictions remain due to previous pandemic measures.
"Areas near government buildings were being bombed. But cities themselves remained calm," said Andranik Harutyunyan, highlighting the contrasting realities for Iranians during the conflict.
Azerbaijan's land borders have remained closed since the Covid-19 pandemic. However, border checkpoints are now open for those fleeing the current conflict.
