Armenia and Azerbaijan have declared a temporary ceasefire in the disputed region of Nogorno-Karabakh. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov announced the agreement after 10 hours of talks in Moscow. He announced that formal talks between the two countries would begin after that.
According to the British Broadcasting Corporation, tensions between the two countries since September 27 have killed more than 300 people and displaced thousands, according to the agreement reached between the two countries on Saturday. A ceasefire has been declared at 12 noon local time, after which the exchange of prisoners and bodies from both sides will begin.
It should be noted that Nagorno-Karabakh is internationally recognized as part of Azerbaijan, but since the end of the war between the two countries in 1994, it has been governed by indigenous people of Armenian descent. This is the fiercest battle between the two countries in which the two countries have accused each other of violence.
The two countries were administered by the Soviet Union before its collapse, and they have blamed each other for the recent tensions. Russia has a military base in Armenia, while the two countries are members of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO). However, Moscow also has good relations with Azerbaijan. Clashes continue throughout the day despite talks in Moscow, according to a statement issued by the Armenian Ministry of Defense on Thursday. The church is shelled.
The photos show the damage inside and outside the Holy Savior Church in the city of Shusha. Azerbaijan has accused the Armenian army of shelling the area of Ganja and Goranbay, its second-largest cities. Which killed many civilians.
