Some 2,784 children displaced from Artsakh enrolled in Armenian schools

YEREVAN, October 3. /ARKA/. Some 2,784 children forcibly displaced from Nagorno-Karabakh have been admitted to schools in Armenia, Nazeli Baghdasaryan, Prime Minister's Press Secretary, said at a press briefing today.

Earlier, Armenian Minister of Education, Science, Culture and Sports Zhanna Andreasyan said that the country's schools were ready to take in the children from Nagorno-Karabakh. She noted that there will be no obstacles because of the lack of required documents.

The minister also stressed that retraining programs for teachers will be launched to help them form an appropriate atmosphere for refugee children.

On September 19, Azerbaijan launched what it called an "anti-terrorist" operation against ethnic Armenians in Nagorno-Karabakh, also known as Artsakh.

The assault lasted 24 hours and ended with Azerbaijani forces gaining full control of the region for the first time since the 1990s war.

This led to a vast refugee crisis, with tens of thousands of ethnic Armenians fleeing along the narrow mountain road connecting the region to the Republic of Armenia. According to the latest data, 100,600 people have arrived in Armenia from Karabakh.-0-
