Over 90,000 civilians or roughly 60 percent of the population of Nagorno Karabakh have fled their towns and villages amid continuous missile attacks by the Azerbaijani army, reports Karabakh Human Right Ombudsman Artak Beglaryan.

“International community must make efforts to stop the Azerbaijani atrocities and help these people return to their homes,” Beglaryan said.

The Karabakh capital Stepanakert as well as towns and villages throughout Karabakh have been under continues aerial strikes since the beginning of the Azerbaijani offensive on September 27.

Karabakh capitol Stepanakert, Martuni, Martakert, and Askeran areas have seen the heaviest bombardment in recent days.

Two days ago, a strike on Stepanakert damaged a gas pipeline as well as nearby homes and shops.

Armenia’s Ministry of Education estimates that roughly 24,000 children in Karabakh are deprived of their right to attain an education due to the ongoing war with Azerbaijan.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
