"[EXCERPT] As of this weekend, more than 100,000 Karabakh Armenians have left their homes and sought refuge in Armenia. It remains unclear how many will remain in Nagorno-Karabakh. The European Union expects Azerbaijan to address the needs of the Karabakh Armenians that remain on the territory of Azerbaijan and provide them with the necessary humanitarian assistance and security. Those who fled to Armenia need to be able to return to their homes in safety. Their cultural heritage and property rights also need to be ensured and protected by Azerbaijan."
