    The Refugees and International Law civil society network finished
    processing 1000 solicitations of refugees from Azerbaijan asking the
    president of Nagorno-Karabakh Republic for support to get compensation
    from Azerbaijan for the damages caused by the Azerbaijani government
    and criminals. We learned from the organization the solicitations
    were filled in by people aged 18 and up.

    417 out of 1000 solicitations chosen at random are by refugees from
    Baku, 84 from Kirovabad, 77 from Mingechaur, 289 from the region
    of Shahumyan, Gerashen and other settlements of NKR occupied by
    Azerbaijan, 24 from Sumgait. The rest are from Khanlar, Dashkesan,
    Shamkhor, Chardakhlu, Shamakhi, Zakatala, Artsvashen (Armenia),
    Fizuli and other places.

    Members of families of 178 refugees got killed and members of
    families of 147 got injured by the anti-Armenian operations and ethnic
    cleansings in 1988-1991.

    158 have higher education, 111 did not graduate.

    713 people lost all their realty and property. 232 people lost part
    of their property.

    592 had savings in the Azerbaijani banks, 503 lost their savings.

    867 say they were forced to leave Azerbaijan by discrimination and
    ethnic persecution. 122 were displaced by the military actions launched
    by Azerbaijan, most of them used to live in the NKR regions occupied
    by Azerbaijan. 615 pointed to forcible deportation by the Azerbaijani
    government. 359 ran away by their cars or hitchhiked.

    892 refuse to return to their former places of residence, the others
    (people displaced from the NKR regions occupied with Azerbaijan)
    are ready to settle down in the territories under the jurisdiction
    of the NKR government.

    737 describe the moral damage as ethnic and religious discrimination
    and forcible deprivation of homeland. The total sum of material
    damage as assessed by the refugees is a little more than 112 million
    dollars. On the whole, 500 thousand people were displaced from the
    territory of Azerbaijan in 1988-1991.

    As of now, the Refugees and International Law civil society network
    has received over 20 thousand solicitations, which will be extended
    to the NKR president after processing.
