Armenia: churches help refugees

The world looked on helplessly a few weeks ago as about 120,000 people fled the Nagorno-Karabakh region after it was seized by neighbouring Azerbaijan in a lightning-fast military campaign.

The region is situated between the Black Sea and Caspian Sea, just north of Iran. This means that almost the entire population of the ethnic Armenian enclave has now left, to try to rebuild their lives in Armenia.

Nagorno-Karabakh – recognised as part of Azerbaijan – had been run by ethnic Armenians for three decades.
