The working groups of the International Committee of the Red
Cross (ICRC) in Nagorno-Karabakh keep visiting Armenian families there,
addressing their needs. ICRC Communication and Prevention Programs Manager Zara
Amatuni told Armenpress that it is hard to give statistics on the number of Armenians
remaining there, but the number is about several dozen.
“After the majority of Armenians moved from Karabakh to
Armenia, our teams started to work on the ground with the people who for some
reason remained there or simply were not able to leave. There were people who
had wished to move to Armenia, but for some reason had not been able to do so.
Our organization has helped them in that regard. We are talking about 50
people. These are people with health issues. We have also helped several dozen
people to contact their relatives in Armenia through phone or video calls. Our
working groups regularly visit those who have decided to stay in Karabakh, and
assess their needs,” Zara Amatuni said.
ICRC visits have revealed that the needs of the Armenians
staying in Karabakh are related to food, water and medical supplies.
