on the state of refugees in South Caucasus, according to which the
situation in Armenia was incomparably better that in Georgia and
Azerbaijan", he said.

83ths people, was fixed in the report, and the number of displaced
people from regions, bordering Nagorno-Karabakh, slightly topped

stereotype that the Azerbaijani side tried to thrust on the
international community regarding this issue.
