Founder of Ethos Charity Fund Evgeny Evsyukov said that for the first time, volunteers from Ethos Charity Fund are working in Goris. The organization plans to expand the range of items delivered.
"We are expecting an influx in our main office in Yerevan, we are getting ready," he added.
Uve from Martakert arrived with his family and helped transport belongings for other families. He left everything behind in his hometown.
"Everything [left in Martakert] - my house, my car. My whole life was left behind," said Uve.
Laura Grigoryan, a refugee, expressed appreciation for the assistance given by the Russian peacekeepers.
Refugees have been arriving in Armenia since the very escalation of the conflict in Karabakh. The Armenian Government reported at least 6650 people entered the country from the conflict region.
Year-long conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh escalated on Tuesday, September 19, with the beginning of Azerbaijan's counter-terrorist operation in the region. On the same day, Moscow called on the parties to the conflict to declare a ceasefire and start negotiations.
Azerbaijan accused Armenia of 'systematic shelling of its army positions' and announced 'anti-terrorist measures of a local nature' in Nagorno-Karabakh. The Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry stated that the only way to achieve peace in the region was 'unconditional and complete withdrawal of the Armenian Armed Forces from the Karabakh region of Azerbaijan and dissolution of the so-called regime'.
For his part, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan claimed that there were no Armenian Armed Forces in Nagorno-Karabakh, and the Armenian Foreign Ministry called the events a 'large-scale aggression'.
On Wednesday, Defence Ministry of the self-proclaimed NKR said that its authorities had decided to lay down arms for a ceasefire from 13:00 local time (09:00 GMT). Baku also announced the suspension of its 'anti-terrorist measures'.
Nagorno-Karabakh - formerly an autonomous region of the Azerbaijani Soviet Socialist Republic, with a predominantly ethnic Armenian population - broke away from Azerbaijan in the final years of the USSR, establishing a self-proclaimed, independent but internationally-unrecognised entity.
Baku claims sovereignty over the territory, and after a major war in 2020 regained control over large parts of the region.
In May 2023, the Yerevan government recognised Azerbaijan’s claim to the territory but also called for protection for the region's ethnic Armenians.
