People fleeing Nagorno-Karabakh continue to flow into the Armenian town of Goris as the number of displaced people reaches 80,000.

EU lawmakers approve a resolution that accuses Azerbaijan of carrying out "ethnic cleansing" against the Armenian residents of Nagorno-Karabakh, and urges the bloc to impose sanctions on Baku. According to the resolution, the European Parliament "considers that the current situation amounts to ethnic cleansing and strongly condemns threats and violence committed by Azerbaijani troops".

Members of the Armenian Church pray for Nagorno-Karabakh refugees at a service held in the St Sargis church in Yerevan. Armenian separatists, who had controlled the region for three decades, agreed to disarm, dissolve their government and reintegrate with Baku following a one-day Azerbaijani offensive last week. Nearly all of Karabakh's estimated 120,000 residents fled the territory over the following days, sparking a refugee crisis. IMAGES
Refugees from the Nagorno-Karabakh region continue to arrive in Armenia, following Azerbaijan gaining full control of the disputed enclave. Images show volunteers handing out water and helping refugees at medical aid tents set up by the roadside near the town of Kornidzor.
