Press Secretary of the Prime Minister of Armenia Nazeli Baghdasaryan writes on her Facebook that by the evening of September 29, almost 100 thousand people arrived in the republic from Nagorno-Karabakh.
A little over a week ago, on September 19, the Azerbaijani army began shelling Nagorno-Karabakh, calling it “anti-terrorist measures of a local nature.” The shelling stopped on September 20, when the army of the unrecognized republic agreed to lay down its arms on Baku’s terms.
