More than 100,000 refugees arrive in Armenia from Nagorno-Karabakh

Armenia said Saturday that over 100,000 people have fled Nagorno-Karabakh, meaning nearly all the official population of the ethnic Armenian enclave has left since Azerbaijan seized back control.

Nazeli Baghdasaryan, a spokeswoman for Armenia’s prime minister, said the number of refugees entering the country over the past week had reached 100,417.

The exodus comes after the Armenian enclave - estimated before to have a population of 120,000 - saw its decades-long fight against Azerbaijani rule end in sudden defeat.
