Under the ceasefire, Karabakh forces commit to being disarmed and disbanded, while Armenian forces are expected to withdraw. Russia has evacuated 2,000 people from Karabakh villages. Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has accused Azerbaijan of "ethnic cleansing" and denied involvement in the ceasefire text.
