On September 27, a new round of armed conflict broke out between Armenia and Azerbaijan in the disputed Nagorno-Karabakh region, resulting in some 4,000 casualties, including civilians, and tens of thousands of refugees.
A Russia-brokered ceasefire statement was signed on November 10, on the condition of deploying Russian peacekeepers along the line of contact in Nagorno-Karabakh and the Lachin corridor connecting the region with Armenia.
Armenia and Azerbaijan have locked horns over Nagorno-Karabakh since 1988.
