Armenian Fighters Surrender Weapons in Nagorno-Karabakh

Ethnic Armenian fighters in Nagorno-Karabakh have started surrendering their weapons to Russian peacekeepers following a ceasefire agreement. The fighters have handed over armored vehicles, guns, and munitions. The conflict between ethnic Armenian forces and the Azerbaijani military has resulted in at least 200 deaths. Russian authorities have provided aid, and the Azerbaijani Foreign Minister has promised equal treatment for ethnic Armenians. Nagorno-Karabakh has been under Armenian control since 1994 but was regained by Azerbaijan in a 2020 war. Russian peacekeeping forces were deployed to prevent further violence. Tensions between Armenia and Russia remain high, with Armenia conducting military exercises with the US.
