Refugees and internally displaced persons in Azerbaijan : ウィキペディア英語版 | Refugees and internally displaced persons in Azerbaijan
Azerbaijani SSR was one of the first republic of Soviet Union that faced the problem of refugees and internally displaced persons. The refugees are ethnic Azerbaijanis from Armenia and the internally displaced persons are ethnic Azerbaijanis from Nagorno-Karabakh and the seven adjacent rayons which are controlled by the self-proclaimed Nagorno-Karabakh Republic ==Refugees from Armenia==
According to the 1979 census, Azeris numbered 160,841 and constituted 5.3% of Armenia's population.〔 (All-Soviet Population Census of 1979 - Ethnic Composition in the Republics of the USSR: Armenian SSR ). ''Demoscope.ru''〕 Civil unrest in Nagorno-Karabakh in 1987 led to Azeris' being often harassed and forced to leave Armenia.〔 (The Nagorno-Karabakh Conflict ) by Svante Cornell. ''Sakharov-Center.ru''〕 On 25 January 1988, the first wave of Azeri refugees from Armenia settled in the city of Sumgait.〔〔 (Karabakh: Timeline of the Conflict ). ''BBC Russian''〕 Another major wave occurred in November 1988〔 as Azeris were either expelled by the nationalists and local or state authorities〔(After Independence ) by Lowell W. Barrington. University of Michigan Press, 2006; p. 231. ISBN 0-472-06898-9〕 or fled fearing for their lives.〔(International Protection Considerations Regarding Armenian Asylum-Seekers and Refugees. United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. Geneva: September 2003 )〕 Violence took place as a result of ethnic conflicts;〔(The Unrecognized IV. The Bitter Fruit of the 'Black Garden' ) by Yazep Abzavaty. ''Nashe Mnenie''. 15 January 2007. Retrieved 1 August 2008〕 in November 1988, 25 Azeris were killed, according to Armenian sources (of those 20 in the town of Gugark);〔 (Pogroms in Armenia: Opinions, Conjecture and Facts ). Interview with Head of the Armenian Committee for National Security Usik Harutyunyan. ''Ekspress-Khronika''. #16. 16 April 1991. Retrieved 1 August 2008〕 and 217, according to Azerbaijani sources.〔(Azerbaijan State Commission On Prisoners of War, Hostages and Missing Persons )〕 Thus, in 1988–91 the remaining Azeris were forced to flee primarily to Azerbaijan.〔〔(UNHCR U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Citizenship and Immigration Services Country Reports Azerbaijan. The Status of Armenians, Russians, Jews and Other Minorities )〕〔(Country Reports on Human Rights Practices - 2004: Armenia ). U.S. Department of State〕 It is impossible to determine the exact population numbers for Azeris in Armenia at the time of the conflict's escalation, since during the 1989 census forced Azeri migration from Armenia was already in progress. UNHCR's estimate is 200,000 persons.〔 According to Azerbaijani government at the time of the ceasefire in 1994 there were about 250,000 Azeri refugees from Armenia.〔(Azerbaijan:Analysis of Gaps in the Protection of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs). UNHCR. October 2009 )〕 According to the 1998 Citizenship Law they are all eligible for citizenship. By the end of 2001, UNHCR estimated that most of them were believed to have naturalized or be in the process of doing so.〔(International Protection Considerations Regarding Azerbaijani Asylum-Seekers and Refugees. UN High Commissioner for Refugees. 2003 )〕
