Number of Artsakh Residents Arriving in Armenia Surpasses 28,000

As of 8 p.m. local time on Tuesday, the number of displaced Artsakh residents crossing into Armenia had reached 28,120, government officials reported.

Artsakh residents displaced after last week’s large-scale attack by Azerbaijan began leaving their homes and heading to Armenia over the weekend, most traveling by car via the Lachin Corridor.

More that 20,800 people have already been registered upon their arrival into Armenia, where they are being provided with accommodations on an as-needed basis.

Thus far, 3,253 people were given accommodations, while the rest have said they have places to stay in Armenia.
