Citizens of 60 countries have been evacuated from Iran via Armenia.

From February 28 to April 1, citizens of 60 countries arrived in Armenia from Iran; they were provided with assistance in obtaining entry visas when necessary.

As "Caucasian Knot" reported, there is no influx of Iranian refugees into Armenia. It is Iranians holding citizenship in other countries who are crossing the border to fly to them from Yerevan, but the danger of an influx of refugees cannot be completely ruled out. Earlier, a collection of humanitarian aid for arriving Iranians began in Yerevan; an ambassador of one of the funds stated that up to a million people could arrive in Armenia.

Citizens of 60 countries were evacuated from Iran through Armenia from February 28 to April 1, according to Armenian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Ani Badalyan.

"Among those evacuated are citizens of neighboring countries, countries of the American continent, European countries, countries of the Eurasian and Asia-Pacific regions, countries of the Middle East and Africa," Badalyan was quoted as saying by "Novosti Armenia."

The department's spokeswoman also stated that they were provided with entry visa support when needed.

As a reminder, on February 28, Israel and the United States began striking Iran. Donald Trump announced the start of a large-scale military operation. In response, Iran began shelling Israel, American military facilities, and civilian targets in the Middle East, according to the Caucasian Knot report "Key Points on the Impact of the Military Conflict with Iran on the Caucasus."

The Caucasian Knot has compiled materials on the impact of military action in Iran on the Caucasus on the thematic page "Iran: War Is Near". The "Caucasian Knot" also published a chronicle of the war in Iran.
