Evacuated Karabakh residents gradually return despite Azeri presence

PanARMENIAN.Net - Head of the village of Khramort in Nagorno-Karabakh Zorik Abrahamyan has revealed that only one Azerbaijani flag is visible instead of the previous four on a nearby strategic height known as Karaglukh.

In an interview with Pastinfo, the official revealed that 25% of the population that had been evacuated as a result of Azerbaijan's incursion earlier in the year, have already returned home.

"Residents are gradually returning to their homes, setting an example for each other. People have begun to cultivate their gardens, harvesting mulberries, busy with daily work. They are returning little by little. We can't call them all at once, because we have to make sure that people are completely safe. It's true that we have positions. Strongholds of Russian peacekeepers are also located in the village, but in any case, if something happens one of these days, who is going to be responsible for it? The situation in the Karaglukh area remains the same; the enemy is still there," Abrahamyan said

Azerbaijani troops continue to remain in positions they set up on Karaglukh, a strategic height in Nagorno-Karabakh, which Azeri forces stormed in March, killing injuring Armenian soldiers.
