The RA Migration Service refuted a claim by Ali Hasanov, Chairman of
the State Refugee Committee of Azerbaijan. He claimed 250,000 refugees
migrated to Azerbaijan from Armenia.
"165,000, rather than 250,000, ethnic Azerbaijanis emigrated from
Armenia," the RA Migration Service informed NEWS.am. Unlike internally
displaced ethnic Armenians, Azerbaijanis left Armenia under peaceful
conditions, and were able to sell or exchange their apartments.
"Moreover, the Armenian authorities granted compensation to 14,
500 Azerbaijani families against their apartments and property -
$110m in 1989," says the report.
