ECRI: over 100,000 Karabakh Armenians fled to Armenia as a result of  Azerbaijan`s military operation

ArmInfo. Within a very short period, over 100,000 Karabakh Armenians fled their homes and headed  to Armenia as a result of Azerbaijan's military operation in the region in September 2023. This is stated in the Council of Europe's body ECRI in its Annual report 2023 released today

ECRI identifies the situation of people displaced by war, the rise of  anti-Semitism and anti-Muslim racism as a result of the current  conflict in the Middle East as key challenges for 2023 and beyond.

On September 19, 2023, Azerbaijan, under the pretext of an  "anti-terrorist operation", committed another act of aggression  against Artsakh. This was preceded by an almost 10-month blockade of  Artsakh. As a result of the enemy aggression, hundreds of Artsakh  residents were injured, and more than 200 people were reported  killed, including civilians. On September 20, Artsakh fell.  Azerbaijan began the violent subjugation of the NKR.  On September  22, the process of abolishing the Artsakh Defense Army began.  During  search operations from September 21 to 24, the NKR Ministry of  Internal Affairs discovered the bodies of 105 Artsakh residents,  including brutally murdered children and the elderly. Today, Artsakh  is completely de-Armenianized, its entire indigenous population of  over 100 thousand people was forced to flee to Armenia under the  threat of physical violence. Since the enemy aggression that began in  the fall of 2020, which in September 2023 ended with the complete  ethnic cleansing of Artsakh, over 150 thousand Artsakh residents have  become homeless.
