On October 19, at a meeting of the Cabinet of Ministers, Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said that more than 3 thousand forcibly displaced refugees from Artsakh had left Armenia. However, on November 23, he noted that there is no mass outflow of internally displaced persons from Nagorno-Karabakh from Armenia. "There are no emigration cases observed, because in the first days there was a rather alarming number of people leaving, but we assumed that in most cases people leave simply at the invitation of relatives, we see that the situation has stabilized," Pashinyan said.
He noted that the government is doing everything to help them and if their return to Nagorno-Karabakh is impossible, then everything will be done to ensure that they remain in Armenia.
According to the RA government, as of November 17, the number of internally displaced persons from Nagorno-Karabakh, according to updated data, amounted to 108 thousand 800 people.
