The Armenian prime minister, Nikol Pashinyan, has said a ceasefire in the breakaway Armenian republic in Nagorno-Karabakh was largely being observed as truce talks with Azerbaijan over the future of the region and its residents began.
Video published by Azerbaijani media showed the delegation from the self-styled Artsakh republic accompanied by Russian peacekeepers driving to the city of Yevlakh after a ceasefire was declared following a 24-hour Azerbaijani offensive that Baku claims has put it in full control of the disputed ethnic Armenian enclave.
