Almost all Armenians flee Nagorno-Karabakh
We hear from people who have fled Nagorno-Karabakh.
Armenia says more than 100,000 people have fled the Nagorno-Karabakh region. It means that that almost the entire population of the ethnic Armenian enclave has left since Azerbaijan seized the region last week. Azerbaijan has said it wants to reintegrate the area and treat its residents as equals, but an Armenian spokesman said this was just a "lie". We bring together people who have fled and explain the developments.
