The mother of a deceased Karabakh resident held a solo picket in Yerevan.

A participant in a solo picket called on the Armenian authorities and the prosecutor's office to expedite her legal battle with the manufacturer of a headstone for the grave of her son, who died in Karabakh in 2023. Authorities refused to intervene in the legal dispute.

As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," by December 2025, more than 26,000 refugees from Karabakh had received Armenian citizenship. The displaced persons themselves called the decision forced, as an Armenian passport is required to find work and participate in the housing program. Karabakh human rights activists believe that accepting Armenian citizenship does not deprive refugees of the right to return.

A woman who lost two sons during the exodus of Armenians from Nagorno-Karabakh in September 2023 protested in front of the Armenian government building today, News.am reports.

The woman insisted on meeting with the Prosecutor General and Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan. She explained that in 2024, she donated the equivalent of $12,000, earned from selling her son's cars, for the installation of a tombstone. However, the person who took the money did not complete the work.

The mother of the deceased appealed to the court, but, according to her, the issue is not being resolved, and the trial is being artificially delayed.

She explained that she attended the protest to demand the return of the money and the punishment of the perpetrator. According to the woman, the man she accuses of embezzlement was initially detained and then released on bail.

Neither the Prime Minister nor the Prosecutor General met with the protester. The government reception office and the Prosecutor General's Office explained that they could not interfere with the court's matters, the newspaper writes.

As a reminder, on September 19-20, 2023, Azerbaijan launched large-scale military operations and took control of Nagorno-Karabakh, which began a mass exodus of the Armenian population. By October 7, 2023, 100,632 internally displaced persons from Nagorno-Karabakh had arrived in Armenia. The "Caucasian Knot" has prepared a report entitled "The Beginning and End of the Unrecognized Republic of Artsakh".

After the exodus of the Armenian population from Nagorno-Karabakh, no more than 40 residents remained there, including ethnic Armenians, former State Minister Artak Beglaryan stated on October 14, 2023. Earlier, on October 2, 2023, the UN mission stated that between 50 and 1,000 ethnic Armenians remained in Karabakh. The original UN statement, which cites these figures, was published on the "Caucasian Knot". By early September 2024, 14 Armenians remained in the region. One of the last Armenian residents of Karabakh, 70-year-old Vera Aghasyan, died at the end of October 2024.
