Artsakh delegation arrives in Yevlakh for talks with Azerbaijan

An Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) delegation escorted by Russian peacekeepers has arrived in the town of Yevlakh for talks with Azerbaijan.

Videos show a large number of reporters covering the visit.

Artsakh agreed to disband its armed forces and discuss its “reintegration” into Azerbaijan as part of a Russia-brokered ceasefire announced on Wednesday, 24 hours after Baku launched a large-scale military offensive.

The ceasefire was due to take effect at 1 p.m. local time Wednesday.

The Artsakh ombudsman’s office said at least 200 people, including 10 civilians, were killed and more than 400 injured in Azerbaijani attacks.
