A day after Azerbaijan launched a military offensive against ethnic Armenians in the breakaway region of Nagorno-Karabakh, they halted their offensive on Wednesday following a ceasefire brokered by the Russians in what has become one of the world’s longest-running conflicts.
Under the agreement, Nagorno-Karabakh’s separatist authorities made many concessions, including disbanding the region’s defense forces and the immediate withdrawal of Armenia’s military. However, the question of Nagorno-Karabakh’s final status remains open and the center of talks between the sides.
