Armenian police and Russian peacekeepers can be seen on the closed road to Aghdam, the new border line between the Armenian and Azerbaijani sides as Armenian separatists are handing over the district bordering Nagorno-Karabakh as part of a Russian-brokered peace deal to end weeks of fighting in the region.

Images show Russian military as part of a peacekeeping force at a checkpoint on the Lachin Corridor in Nagorno-Karabakh, Azerbaijan. Nagorno-Karabakh now stands practically empty after almost all ethnic Armenians fled the self-proclaimed republic following Azerbaijan's lightning military offensive in late September. IMAGES
Images published by the Russian Defence Ministry show a military arts troupe wearing WWII military uniforms and performing a musical and dance show for peacekeepers responsible for monitoring the Lachin corridor. Some 2,000 Russian peacekeepers are deployed between the two sides and along this 60-kilometre (35-mile) route through the district that connects Karabakh's main city Stepanakert to Armenia. IMAGES
Azerbaijani guards patrol the checkpoint at the entrance to the Lachin corridor which connects Armenia and the region of Nagorno-Karabakh. A sign indicates that one is entering Azerbaijan territory. Internationally recognised as part of Azerbaijan, Nagorno-Karabakh, which broke away from Baku three decades, was at the centre of two wars between mostly Christian Armenia and predominantly Muslim Azerbaijan.
