Nearly 100,000 have fled to Armenia from Nagorno-Karabakh

YEREVAN: Almost 100,000 people have fled from Nagorno-Karabakh to Armenia after the region was conquered by Azerbaijan in a lightning military operation, reported German news agency (dpa).

By Friday, 97,700 people had crossed the border into Armenia, Yerevan government spokeswoman Nazeli Baghdazaryan said, according to local media. The population of Nagorno-Karabakh was only 100,000 to 120,000 before the latest conflict, according to recent estimates. There are concerns that many centuries of Armenian life in the area will be wiped out by the exodus, which has been triggered by fears of Azerbaijani rule.
