Armenia welcomes refugees from Nagorno-Karabakh – BBC News


More than a thousand ethnic Armenian refugees from the disputed region of Nagorno-Karabakh have started arriving in Armenia.

They are the first to cross the border since the enclave was seized by Azerbaijan.

The refugees entered after the government in Yerevan announced plans to move those made homeless by the fighting.

Azerbaijan retook the area inhabited by some 120,000 ethnic Armenians saying it wants to re-integrate them as "equal citizens”.

But Armenia has warned they may face ethnic cleansing.
