Russian Co-Chair of the OSCE Minsk Group in fact dismissed Azerbaijani accusations against settlement of Syrian refugees in Nagorno-Karabakh.

“As for Nagorno-Karabakh, we have no information about the settlement of Armenian families from Syria there. It is unlikely that there were mass settlements. UN High Commissioner for Refugees office has earlier informed us in this regard,” Igor Popov said in an interview with APA agency.

He recalled that 2 million have become refugees as a result of the continuous conflict in Syria, and the countries of the region granted asylum to most of them.

“It was reflected in the UN Security Council resolution on the humanitarian situation in Syria,” he emphasized.
