Remove directory on dynamic links with .htaccess

I wrote the following codes with .htaccess

RewriteRule ^articles/([0-9a-zA-Z-_]+)$ page.php?article_seolink=$1 [NC,NE,L]

And I created the following URL address

example.com/articles/article-title

But I want to create a link like

example.com/article-title

How can I do this and redirect old URL to new one?
