More than 100,000 ethnic Armenians – almost the entire population – have left Nagorno-Karabakh since Azerbaijan attacked and ordered the breakaway region's militants to disarm, the Armenian government said on Saturday. Armenia is seeking aid from the European Union to help it cope with the influx of refugees.
A spokesperson for Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said 100,417 people had arrived in Armenia from Nagorno-Karabakh, which had a population of around 120,000 before Azerbaijan took back control of the separatist region last week.
