More than 100,000 Armenians have been displaced from the region Nagorno-Karabakh.

Finland has sent an aid shipment destined for Armenia, according to the Finnish interior ministry.

Last month, Azerbaijan regained control of Nagorno-Karabakh, a region that had been under control of the majority ethnic Armenian population for the past three decades.

The situation prompted more than 100,000 Armenians to flee the region. Armenia has since requested assistance through the EU Civil Protection Mechanism.

"The request for assistance includes necessities for young children aged 0 to 4, starting from beds, clothes and diapers. We deliver maternity packs and ready-made meals to meet the request for assistance," said Heikki Honkanen, Senior Coordinator at the Ministry of the Interior.

The ministry said the aid package had already left Finland and will arrive in Armenia next week. Austria is organising air transport for the aid shipment.

Well over a dozen European countries have also offered aid to Armenia, in addition to Finland and Austria.
