ArmInfo. Russia will soon send a new batch of humanitarian aid for refugees from Nagorno-Karabakh. This was announced on May 27 during a weekly briefing by the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova.
"Of course, this humanitarian issue is in the sphere of attention of the Russian side. A new, rather large- scale action is planned for the near future. It is organized by the Russian Humanitarian Mission, and on the Armenian side, this issue is being handled by the republican branch of the ANO "Eurasia" and other structures," the diplomat added.
Zakharova also recalled that the Russian Humanitarian Mission had previously sent humanitarian aid to Armenia, including in October 2023. In particular, according to her, 6 tons of food, personal hygiene products, etc. were transferred to Karabakh displaced persons.
On September 19, 2023, Azerbaijan, under the pretext of an "anti-terrorist operation", committed another act of aggression against Artsakh. As a result of the enemy aggression, hundreds of Artsakh residents were injured, and more than 200 deaths were reported at the time, including civilians. On September 20, Artsakh fell. Azerbaijan began the violent subjugation of the NKR. In addition, late in the evening of September 20, it became known that Azerbaijan had deliberately fired at two vehicles of the Russian peacekeeping contingent, killing 6 people, including the deputy commander of the RMK. 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.
