A third of Nagorno-Karabakh residents have left the region

Before the invasion of Azerbaijani troops in September, 140 thousand ethnic Armenians lived in Nagorno-Karabakh, but today 47 thousand have left the region. This was reported by the press secretary of the Prime Minister of Armenia Nazeli Baghdasaryan.

Most refugees are resettled in camps and hostels in Armenia. The European Union promised to give Yerevan 2.6 billion euros to restore the economy and integrate refugees. The departure of Armenians from Karabakh is so massive that huge traffic jams have arisen in the area of the Lachin corridor, the French publication Le Point noted.

Authorities said priority will be given to those who lost their homes in areas bordering Azerbaijan. But many residents of the local “capital” Stepanakert (Khankendi) still leave the unrecognized republic.
