11 people were transported from Karabakh to Armenia.
Ten ethnic Armenians and one Russian with Armenian citizenship, who remained in Karabakh after the exodus, have requested to be resettled in Armenia; they have already been relocated.
As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," after the exodus of the Armenian population from Nagorno-Karabakh, no more than 40 residents, including ethnic Armenians, remained there, 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 in late October 2024.
On September 19-20, 2023, Azerbaijan launched large-scale military operations and took control of the territory 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".
Armenian Minister of Labor and Social Affairs Arsen Torosyan reported that 11 people who remained in Nagorno-Karabakh after the exodus of its population have been resettled to Armenia.
"Ten Armenians and one citizen of the Republic of Armenia of Russian descent, who had previously resided in the territory of the Republic of Azerbaijan (in Karabakh), appealed to the relevant authorities of Azerbaijan and Armenia with a request to resettle in the Republic of Armenia. Based on these appeals, these individuals were transported to the Republic of Armenia," News.Am quoted Torosyan as saying today.
The report did not provide details about who exactly moved to Armenia or where they live. The minister also did not specify how many residents of Armenian origin remained in Karabakh.
We also recall that Karen Avanesyan, who remained in Khankendi (the Armenian name is Stepanakert, - ed. "Caucasian Knot") after the exodus of Karabakhis to Armenia, was sentenced by an Azerbaijani court to 16 years in prison on charges of attempting a terrorist attack. According to the investigation and the court, Avanesyan tried to reach the venue of an event in the city, but was stopped by police. He threw grenades at them, opened fire, was wounded, and detained, the Azerbaijani Ministry of Internal Affairs reported. Karabakh human rights activists believe the incident was staged; according to them, the mentally ill man was well known in the city and did not show aggression.
The "Caucasian Knot" also reported that the "40+10" program was in effect for Karabakh refugees in Armenia, under which each refugee received 40,000 drams (about $103) for rent and 10,000 (about $25.8) for utilities. Starting in April 2025, it was decided not to extend this program to people of working age, leaving only the 30,000 drams payments for children under 18, people with disabilities, and pensioners. In the spring, the Council for the Protection of Citizens' Rights of Nagorno-Karabakh secured an extension of social assistance for refugees for another two months. The authorities are not taking into account the realities of life in Armenia and housing prices, displaced persons interviewed by the "Caucasian Knot" stated.
