The UN refugee agency (UNHCR) said it has not received reports of maltreatment of Armenians fleeing Khankendi to Armenia.
UNHCR representative in Armenia Kavita Belani told a news conference that there have been no recorded incidences of mistreatment of those fleeing Khankendi.
“There were no recorded incidents or cases of mistreatment against people on the move. The long and the tiring journey, and the congestion is difficult for people. Nobody shared instances of being harassed," Belani said.
