Over the past 24 hours, Russian military personnel ensured the delivery of 190 tons of cargo with food and fuel and other aid for the civilian population of Karabakh, the Russian Ministry of Defence said on 25 September. Russian peacekeepers escorted the transport of civilians from the Martuni region, delivering 70 people to Stepanakert, the ministry added. Some 715 civilians, including 402 children, have been taken to the Russian peacekeeping contingent, where they have been provided with accommodation, food and medical assistance. Azerbaijan on 19 September 2023 launched a brief military offensive on the contested region of Nagorno-Karabakh, a breakaway enclave that is home to some 120,000 ethnic Armenians. The Armenian government announced the evacuation of about 3,000 local residents from the region following the ceasefire agreed on 20 September 2023, as Azerbaijan opened all checkpoints with Armenia for the unimpeded exit of civilians from the territory of Nagorno-Karabakh. Russian peacekeepers escorted convoys of civilians from Nagorno-Karabakh leaving for Armenia, the Russian Ministry of Defense reported.

EPA/RUSSIAN DEFENCE MINISTRY PRESS SERVICE HANDOUT

Prema službenim podacima dosad je više od 42.000 ljudi pobjeglo iz područja Gorskog Karabaha, nakon što je Azerbajdžan preuzeo kontrolu nad tom regijom u brzoj vojnoj operaciji.

U Armeniju je stiglo oko 42.500 ljudi, rekla je u srijedu na konferenciji za novinare Nazeli Bagdasarjan, tajnica za medije armenskog premijera Nikola Pašinjana.

Bagdasarjan je rekla i da je u selu Kornidžor podignut prihvatni kamp, a armenska vlada obećala je da će pružiti utočište svim izbjeglicama.

Kornidžor je smješten blizu koridora Lašin, koji povezuje središte Armenije s regijom Gorski Karabah.

Gorski Karabah se nalazi na području Azerbajdžana, no dosad je ondje živjelo većinski armensko stanovništvo, oko 120.000 Armenaca.

Azerbajdžanska ofenziva i kasnija predaja lokalne vlade rezultirali su masovnim egzodusom armenskog dijela stanovništva iz regije.
