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 Shahumian, Getashen 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.
