Azerbaijani soldiers inspect Armenian military equipment captured by the Azerbaijani armed forces during the escalation of the armed conflict in the disputed Nagorno-Karabakh and relocated to the village of Melbinasi, Azerbaijan. After years of recurrent conflicts between Azerbaijani and Armenian forces, full-scale fighting began in late September this year. Two days after Azerbaijan announced it had taken Shusha, Armenia and Azerbaijan signed a Russia-brokered cease-fire under which territory that Armenia occupies outside the formal borders of Nagorno-Karabakh will be gradually ceded.
