NK Crisis: In autumn 2023, Armenia experienced a massive influx of individuals following the escalation of the Nagorno-Karabakh (NK) conflict starting on 19 September.

Those displaced to Armenia have left behind their homes, valuables, livelihoods, essentially most of what constituted their material possessions.
