Over 100,400 displaced people cross into Armenia from Artsakh

More than 100,400 forcibly displaced people have crossed into Armenia from Nagorno-Karabakh (Artsakh) in a mass exodus triggered by last week's Azerbaijani military offensive, the Armenian government reported on Saturday.

“As of 12 p.m., 100,417 forcibly displaced persons entered Armenia from Nagorno-Karabakh,” Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan’s spokesperson, Nazeli Baghdasaryan, told reporters.

The government is providing housing for all those who do not have a place to go. Registration has been completed for 81,139 of them, Baghdasaryan said.

As many as 21,043 vehicles have crossed the Hakari bridge into Armenia, she added.
