After the 2023 Azerbaijani offensive in Nagorno-Karabakh, nearly the entire ethnic Armenian population of more than 100,000 people fled to Armenia. Armenia remains the primary destination for these displaced individuals, though some have since moved on to other countries.The claim that the majority of Karabakh Armenians migrated to Georgia is incorrect.
Primary destination for displaced Armenians
Arrival in Armenia: In the immediate aftermath of the September 2023 offensive, over 100,000 ethnic Armenians fled into Armenia via the Lachin corridor.
Settlement within Armenia: The majority of these refugees have attempted to start new lives within Armenia, where they now make up a significant portion of the population. However, integrating them has strained government resources, and many face difficult conditions.
Emigration from Armenia: A portion of the refugees have since emigrated from Armenia to other countries due to inadequate living conditions and financial difficulties. By April 2024, reports indicated that over 30% of the displaced were considering moving to third states. Russia is a popular destination for those seeking to emigrate from Armenia, as many have personal ties there and are familiar with the country.
Georgia and other destinations
While some Armenians from Nagorno-Karabakh may have moved to Georgia, it was not the majority destination. The claim regarding specific percentages (57.1% to Georgia, 29.9% to Russia) and return rates does not align with reported facts concerning the 2023 exodus.
The large-scale displacement of Karabakh Armenians primarily involves a move from the Nagorno-Karabakh region to Armenia. Migration from Armenia to other countries, including Russia, has been a secondary, ongoing trend driven by socio-economic factors.
