Crowds of refugees flew into Armenia in 1918 and 1988, with most of
whom still living in inhuman conditions. Now that the situation on
the Armenian-Azeri border has escalated, we can expect a new inflow
of refugees, President of the Assembly of Azeri Armenians Grigory
Ayvazyan told journalists on Wednesday.
"Today over 10% of Armenia's population are refugees, and they are
still faced with political, legal and social-economic problems. Over
$50mln are needed for providing them with houses - something our
country cannot afford for the moment," Ayvazyan said.
He refuted the report that a group of Armenian refugees from Baku are
going to build a town in Zangelan district of Nagorno-Karabakh. "They
don't have $50mln to build their houses, how come they have $3bln to
build a town?" Ayvazyan said.
He said that new war with Azerbaijan is inevitable. "The best proof is
the falling real estate prices in Baku: the point is that the Azeris
perfectly know that the city will be the key target once the war
begins. The only thing that is keeping them back is Russia's position.
But once the Russians become neutral, the Azeris will attack us. We
must be ready for a new war and rely on our own resources - for only
we can help ourselves,," Ayvazyan said.
