Approximately 85,000 Nagorno-Karabakh residents have moved to Armenia since September 24, according to information provided by Nazeli Baghdasaryan, the spokesperson for the Armenian cabinet.

Baghdasaryan conveyed this information via social media, stating, "As of 6 a.m. [0200 GMT], 84,770 people have arrived in Armenia from Nagorno-Karabakh."

This significant exodus of Nagorno-Karabakh's predominantly Armenian population began the preceding week after Azerbaijan declared the successful conclusion of its so-called "anti-terrorist" operation initiated against the breakaway region on September 19.

Following this declaration, Nagorno-Karabakh's authorities, with the mediation of Russian peacekeepers, agreed to disarm and relinquish all their weaponry to Baku the following day.

Armenia explicitly stated that it was not involved in these negotiations. Azerbaijan's government, on the other hand, committed to taking measures to support the "integration" of Nagorno-Karabakh Armenians who choose to stay in the region.

Earlier on Thursday, the President of the unrecognized Republic of Nagorno-Karabakh (Artsakh), Samvel Shahramanyan, signed Thursday a decree that dictates the termination of the existence of the republic he heads.

"Based on the priority of ensuring the physical security and vital interests of the people of Karabakh, taking into account the agreement reached through the mediation of the command of the Russian peacekeeping contingent with representatives of Azerbaijan that free, voluntary, and unimpeded passage of residents of Nagorno-Karabakh, including military personnel who have laid down their arms, with their property is ensured on their vehicles along the Lachin corridor ... a decision was made: to dissolve all state institutions and organizations under their departmental subordination until January 1, 2024," the decree read.

The decree added that subsequently, "the Republic of Nagorno-Karabakh (Artsakh) ceases to exist." According to reports, the decree is set to take effect immediately after publication.
