Some 88,780 people have crossed into Armenia from Nagorno-Karabakh, according to Armenian government figures, quoted by the RIA news agency.
The exodus of ethnic Armenians from the breakaway region began after the fall of its separatist government last week following a military operation by Azerbaijan.The Ambassador of Azerbaijan to Ireland said that his country offered the ethnic Armenian people an option to remain, but"we cannot force them to stay".
"We understand that there is uncertainty. We understand that there is a fear of safety .... Those are understandable concerns given they are part of a conflict for a long time". He said that Azerbaijan has restored its integrity and constitutional law in accordance with international law. Varuzhan Nersesyan said that Azerbaijan made a"fake promise" of reintegration but it is"nothing but a policy of ethnic cleansing" and"nobody wants to stay ... under Azerbaijani rule".
