Azerbaijan Ends Offensive, Sends Aid as Armenian Separatists Surrender Arms

Ethnic Armenian separatists in Nagorno-Karabakh have surrendered their arms to Russian peacekeepers, following Azerbaijan's reclaiming of the breakaway region. The separatists handed over armored vehicles, small arms, and ammunition. Talks on reintegrating the region into Azerbaijan are ongoing. Russia has been a key partner of Armenia, but ties have strained as Armenian Prime Minister Pashinyan criticized Russia's failure to protect Nagorno-Karabakh. Azerbaijan is delivering humanitarian aid to the region, which has been cut off from supplies. Anxiety is high among the region's people, with many wanting to be evacuated to Armenia.
