In Dagestan, about 500 people still stay in a camp near the village of Kullar after another group of Azerbaijani citizens has been sent home.

Said, a resident of the Kullar village, says people arrive at the camp every day. According to the villager, the people staying at the camp do not cause any inconvenience to local residents, and no conflicts arise.
