1 MLN is total number of #Karabakh war refugees & IDMs from all sides (1988-1994). 1 mln Azeri refugees is false.
Sources: official #Azerbaijan sources, UNHCR & official census.
In uncertain cases, maximum AZ number is taken.
Azeris - 624,463
#Armenia|ns - 360,000
#DataViz
Total number of Meskhetian Turks arrive in #Azerbaijan was 50,000. Here I mentioned them all as move to #Karabakh, while actual number is times less, estimated to 2000 move to #Khojaly, some to #Shushi. If we do not, the Azeri total number is 624,463 - 48,000 = 576,463
Also lots of people flee #Azerbaijan & #Armenia between 1979 & 1989 censuses, before 1988 is not considered, which may be a significant number from both sides.
A more proper analysis is given by @hrant_m, but I can't find the link.
@hrant_m So I'd ignore false statements by some marginals, sick w/ xenophobia & revanchism, but it's the educated youth of #Azerbaijan juggling w/ numbers in the most nasty way. Azeri community of #Karabakh appears to have 1.2 mln ppl - twice more than number of Azeri refugees altogether.
